Software tip: Beyond Compare [Win]
In my new job I stumbled upon a little software tool called Beyond Compare. This is a file merge tool which is able to compare local files and remote files via FTP. I have to admit that I am fallen in love with little tool. It has one mayor flaw - it’s a Windows program only.
This isn’t a free tool, you have to pay for it, but it’s worth. It is just $30.
Does any one know a similar tool for OS X?

MacFusion + FileMerge
Use MacFusion to mount a FTP site and use the built-in FileMerge for comparing the files. Both free as in beer.
If you have ssh access you could just of course try rsync couldn’t you?
