Use ncftp from ftp.probe.net. It has a nice feature 

get -R <directory>

This scans <directory> recursively, and gets all the files that are
NEWER than the files on your local machine. It has a number of other
features too.

I use this every day to "reconcile" directories on my home and office
machines. 

Good luck
