Which is my long winded way of coming around to asking - what would be the best approach to uploading data from my machine in this circumstance? Is there an FTP utility that, like GoLive, will track which documents have been modified since last upload and send only those?

Why not use find and -mtime to get a list of files that were modified and then FTP that?

If you combined that with a "touch" of all files at the end you could keep good track of what needed to be uploaded.

Really though, everyone else is right, rsync is probably the way to go.

Sorry if this was already suggested, but Quanta plus will do what you are asking. It tracks the files being edited and uploads only those that have been changed. I believe they moved Quanta plus into one of the kde packages but it runs under gnome just fine.

If you use Eclipse for editing, there is a plugin that will let you use the "export" option to ftp (or sftp) only the changed files.
