How to sync over FTP

Don't re-invent the wheel.

1) Install rsync instead, which is designed with syncing in mind.

2) ftpsync was written a decade ago. Perhaps it has been updated since.

3) lftp syncs over FTP and is being actively maintained.

4) Perl package turbo-ftp-sync may also fit the bill.
