Hi,
looking for an alternative to sitecopy, which can push changes over ftp
without reading the remote site. Unfortunately it doesn't do explicit
FTPS, which I need.

Check out Fetch.

Does have a similar feature, and it's even free for educational users :)

Unfortunately not powerful enough, lacks explicit exclusion of certain
folders.

And I'd prefer CLI.

Hmmm... I'm a power user and Fetch is plenty powerful enough for me.  
How is it not powerful enough for you exactly?

> lacks explicit exclusion of certain folders

Just curious:  Which folders would you want to exclude, and exclude them
how (just from listings)?

> And I'd prefer CLI.

Then use the built-in ftp program, or grab ncftp, which is arguably one
of the best out there. I love ncftp.  : )

From my .sitecopyrc

 permissions exec
 symlinks follow
 exclude "/crit/data"
 exclude "*~"
 exclude ".DS_Store"
 ignore "/japan/tangodb"
 exclude "/yy/xx-developer"
 exclude ".hm2index"

Those are interactive clients, and I want automation. Both lack any kind
of bulk update.

Then use ncftpput in a script.

Nah, I moved on to Ruby. But why re-invent the wheel? There already is
sitecopy, all I want additionally is FTPS.

Has anyone ever suggested to you that Perl and Ruby were mutually
exclusive?

Have you ever tried dating both Pearl and Ruby at the same time?

Right. I've obviously asked in the right place.
