When my ISP finally get around to letting me run code on the server, I
will use a VPN, WebDav, Rsync etc.  He has procrastinated for years. I
don't pay him, so I can't very well complain. For now, the only route
in I have in is FTP.  There are an astounding number of FTP utilities
out there, but even after years of trying them out, I have not found
one suited for unattended  bulk upload of deltas. 

This does not make sense. Surely thousands of people do unattended FTP
uploads. Maybe they have all graduated to non-FTP tools.  I would have
been better off to write my FTP uploader own from scratch or using
Apache libarries than waste all that time testing duds.
