You can use Unison:

I use it to synchronize several servers between them.
It works like a Charm.

FTP is good enough for a small number of files. But for automating
large numbers of file transfers rsync is hard to beat, a much smarter
tool making things much more efficient.
By default, rsync will only transfer files that have changed, and even
then only transfers the portions of a file that's changed.
It can be used to sync folders locally or remotely - I run all my
backups with it, in addition to using it post files to servers from my
local master copy.
rsync is preinstalled with macOS, can be added to Windows, and is a
standard part of most popular Linux distros used on servers.
It's secure using SSH, so if you add your SSH public key to your
server (useful for a good many things) you not only get good security
but it makes it easy to automate with LiveCode's shell function.
@Michael Doub: I believe HostM uses Ubuntu, so rsync is preinstalled
there. And since you use macOS, your copy is preinstalled on your Mac.
IMNSHO, you'll want to request SSH for any hosting service that
doesn't offer it by default. With SSH, not only do you get to use
standard Unix/Linux utilities like rsync, scp, and others, but sooner
or later you're likely to need or want to do something on that server
outside of the limited scope of what FTP is designed for. With shell
access you can do anything you need, just as good as having the server
sitting on your desk, even if it's thousands of miles away.
