A new one on me - I'll need to take a look. I wrote a small program to 
do the same thing (update a remote site via FTP) which is now relatively 
stable and polished, you can find it at:

There's also a brief discussion of some of the other tools available at:

(PushSite's distinguishing features are (trivial) IDS, and can be set to 
run from 'cron')

AIR mirror (along with Pavuk, getleft and many others) suck in a 
directory tree instead of pushing it to a remote site. (but they don't 
suck - if you get my drift).

The other key tool I use currently is Linbot (now Webcheck 
http://www.mired.org/webcheck/). Which takes a lot of the donkey work 
out of testing and maintaining a site.
