wget does that automatically, if the dates are the same (or newer) and
the file sizes are identical.

to mirror back UP to a site, just construct the necessary commands and
then pipe it to FTP:
(edit the first echo command to your site name. I built this a while
ago for another purpose, it wasnt written FOR the list, I just already
had the tool)

#
# Build FTP commands file.
#
echo o targetsite.com > ftpcommands
shift
echo cd httpdocs >> ftpcommands
echo binary >> ftpcommands

#Directories.
for TARGET in `find -type d `
do
 echo mkdir \"$TARGET\" >> ftpcommands
 echo chmod a+rwx \"$TARGET\" >> ftpcommands
done

#Upload Files
for TARGET in `find -type f | grep -v ftpsetup | grep -v ftpcommand`
do
 echo put \"$TARGET\" >> ftpcommands
done

echo ...Now Just type:
echo "                        cat ftpcommands | ftp -v"
echo To upload the site.
