FTP Upstreamer project

I want to gauge interest in a new project. How many of you out there (and I know there are something like 7 of you :) would actually use a utility that did the following:
- Had a list of local directories and FTP servers/paths
- Monitored those dirs (timer or file change notifications) for changes.
- Upstream new files (based on file times) to the FTP server. This wouldn't be a full sync but would rather be a copy. It would never delete anything from the server.
- Has a tray icon to let you know what is going on.
BTW, this is a feature stolen almost verbatim from Radio. I think that it would be useful to break it out into its own utility.
The real reason I would want this is that frickin' VS.Net doesn't have a way to deply an ASP.Net application to an FTP server. You can copy it or use FP extentions, but you can't FTP that guy up there.
I would include source and an installer for this guy.
If you are interested, email me at eightypercent at bedafamily.com and I'll think about putting something together.[ Joe Beda's EightyPercent.Net ]
Count me in.. I have been wishing for a utility with this feature set for a couple of months...
Well, this will be definitely nice project to working on.
Maybe it is worth to note that Dejan Jelovic's have similar command line utility SiteUpload, which do similar thing - upload web sites via FTP.
