Best FTP application to work like rsync

I

itslikethat

I need to maintain a local mirror website content on various web hosts. Some of these hosts provide ssh access so I can use the rsync port that seems to be very efficient. However on other hosts all I get is FTP access, so I am trying to find the best ports to allow me to do efficient mirroring of websites with just ftp access. I am also running KDE.
 
Thanks Sir Dice,

I took your advice and have been using lftp and built a few good scripts to automatically download an entire ftp account only replacing new files. The only downside I have encountered is that I have several hosts and have found that lftp will trip the security on some hosts who have an anti- port scanning security setting. Usually you can get your IP whitelisted by just letting them know you are using lftp.
