nftp is a command-line FTP client that allows you to easily synchronise local and remote directories using FTP. It's written in Python and released under a GPL 2 license.
Download: the source is available as nftp.py (5911 bytes, md5: e27d916c8933cc9fa5aa39ad1de737df). That's the only file you need to run the program, but you also have to write a ~/.nftprc file to set up your accounts. There's an example .nftprc for you to copy and change to use your own settings.
Uploading a file is then a simple matter of $ nftp account
/path/filename
. You can include, for example, a -c 755 flag to
chmod the file, or a -d to delete it. Using -g will get a file from the
server and save it locally, and -u will update the file in each
repository to the most recent (mtime) version.
