Herkum and moritz,

Thank you for the quick responses!

I would, of course, prefer a hosting environment with shell access. It's not because Mosso (which is owned and operated by Rackspace) is technologically inadequate, but because they host across a homogeneous cluster - both IIS and Apache (as well as ASP, .NET, PHP4 & 5, Perl, Ruby on Rails) on Windows and Linux - that there is no shell access. I imagine that my files are sitting somewhere on a NAS and mounted across multiple machines.

That being said, I am technologically constrained by the higher-ups - Mosso and SVN are non-negotiable.

I'm open to hearing how I could use rsync as part of the "tool chain" - will it take care of the recursive directory and FTP clobbering issues?

Thanks,
Bob
