Dispatch FTP Pushing for Visual Studio 2008

Great plugin into Visual Studio 2008 that I love.  This app lets you see what files are different from your production or development server from your local machine and will push out the changes for you.  You can just tell it to push and all the files are copied.  When you create a new file it tracks it, when you change a file it tracks that.  Then when you are ready push all your changes up to QA or Production via FTP.

Seamless Integration with Visual Studio 2005/2008.

Visual Studio is a fantastic IDE but lacks a simple way to deploy incremental site updates via FTP. Dispatch bridges this gap, with a few bells and whistles.
Dispatch supports C# and VB web projects using In-Place compilation or Web Application Projects (WAP) on both Windows XP and Windows Vista. Dispatch also supports multiple web projects in a single solution, each with their own deployment configuration. Once you're in Visual Studio, stay in Visual Studio.

So worth $30
