Where I have to use ftp I use lftp and automate the common moves with 
scripts - but I use a Linux box for development!

No you don't. As I said I use a linux box. I simply export a directory by 
NFS from by developement machine, which I mount on my board. I make "make 
install" put the executables in the exported directory and they are 
"instantly" availalbe for testing on the board. All set up in minutes.

If you cripple yourself by developeing under Microsoft then yes you have 
more of a problem.
