LFTP, I Love You
lftp rocks. I always loved it in the past as it let me do tab completion in FTP, but now I discover that it not only handles HTTP and SFTP, but has a mirror command.
lftp -c mirror sftp://o-hand.com/srv/foo/bar ftp://user:pass@ftp.example.com/pub/bar
That is very, very useful right now.

yes, it's really handy. You can script some simple actions and put them in a file, too. :)
I've found some annoying things however, like the inability to recursively delete folders with .dotfiles in them.
Also, at some point lftp simply refused to create a folder for me. The circumstances are unclear, but nautilus could do it.(?)

rsync requires either a remote rsync server, or shell access; but my destination server is only available via FTP.
