I usually do it with lftp, in a script like:

[michael@serafina ~]$ cat work/websites/foobar/lftp.upload
#!/usr/local/bin/lftp -f
debug 3;

set dns:fatal-timeout 30;

set ftp:ssl-allow true;

open -u username,password host;

put upload/updating.php -o /index.php || exit 1

mirror --verbose=1 --parallel=1 --delete --reverse \
--exclude ".htaccess" --exclude ".htpasswd" \
--exclude "index.php" --exclude "updating.php" \
upload / || exit 1

put upload/index.php -o /index.php || exit 1


Then I'll call ./lftp.upload and be done.
