Welp, there's always Anarchie/Interarchy, which I use constantly to
maintain 3000+ file sites. It allows you to define a bookmark which you can
simply click on, and it will compare file sizes (not dates) to determine
which ones to upload. You can also define a "mirror placeholder", which
allows you to say "hey! don't sync this directory!", which is helpful for
log reports, cgi-bins, or other like directories.
I've heard Transfer and NetFinder have the same ability, but last I knew,
Transfer didn't have mirror placeholders, and I haven't had a chance to try
NetFinder...
