I use sitecopy for maintaining my website.
http://www.manyfish.co.uk/sitecopy/
The master copy of my site is on my hard drive, under ~/myweb/upload.
Whenever I change something in that tree, I invoke sitecopy to propagate
those changes to my ISP's FTP server.
You will need to spend a few minutes reading the manpage and writing a config
file, but the tool is very easy to use once it is configured.
I am including my own config file.
