I came across this one today.

WebMan(As featured in Acorn User! No, really!)
Purpose:
WebMan is a simple, clean, fast tool to help with the management of websites.
Specifically, WebMan maintains a database that represents files present on the (remote) website and can compare that against the local copy of the site in order to work out what operations (uploads, deletions, etc.) are required to make the remote site up to date with respect to the local copy. 
As a bonus, output may be in the form of a command script to throw at sFTP. This allows website maintenance to be handled by simply running obeyfiles to upload changes and acknowledge than an upload succeded. 

I dont have the experience, just giving you the option to look.
