Nope, no shell access, only SFTP, so rsync is not an option.

Just came across LFTP, http://lftp.yar.ru. According to the feature list,
it has support for SFTP and also comes with a "built-in mirror and reverse
mirror" option. And, even better, it's already in the ports as ftp/lftp.
Seems worth investigating, but that'll have to wait till tomorrow.
