Preaching to the choir.  Make has all kinds of uses.
Here's a simple Makefile for uploading to a web site:


UP_SITE:=mywebsite.net
uploads:=$(wildcard $.html) $(wildcard *.png)

targets:=$(addsuffix .uploaded,$(uploads))

all: $(targets)

define install_html
(\
echo -e "binary\n"\
 "put $(subst .uploaded,,$@)\n"\
 "close\n"\
 "quit\n"\
 ) | ftp $(UP_SITE)
endef

%.uploaded: %
	$(install_html)
	echo "`date`" > $@

clean:
	rm *.uploaded
