include_once 'ftp_sync.php';

$ftpServer='hostname';
$ftpUsername='username';
$ftpPassword='password';

//max simulatnous connections. the more of this number the faster synchronization will be but if set to high number it'll be aborted by FTP server probably so try to keep it in between.
//Note: if it's getting connection refused error try to set this number to low number usually 5 should be fine.
$maxConnections=5;

//a comma separated list of folder names or file names - full name is required
$exclude_list='cache,template_c';

$sync=new FTPSync($ftpServer,$ftpUsername,$ftpPassword,$maxConnections,$exclude_list);

//This to display detailed information about the directories and files being uploaded - use for testing
$sync->verbose=true;

//start synchronization process
$sync->syncRemoteDir('/path/to/local','/path/to/remote');

Details
Notes before using this class:-
1- Please don't write ftp:// before the host name or it will fail.
2- If you had troubles connecting to the FTP server or if the synchronization is taking too long try decreasing the number of maxConnections to 1 or 2 because some servers refuse multiple connections from the same client.
3- Some servers doesn't support chmod options so you may get errors like
PHP Warning:  ftp_chmod(): Unknown SITE command. 
Just can ignore this error
