How do I get mput (Windows FTP) to not overwrite files?

Question

I have a directory on my local system, lets say C:\dir. I'm writing a batch script to upload the contents of that directory to my server. Here's the script:

@ftp -i -s:"%~f0"&GOTO:EOF
open ftp.chintanparikh.x10.mx
[username]
[password]
lcd C:\dir
cd  somedir/dir
binary
mput "*.*"

Is it possible to somehow change mput to not overwrite files? Currently, it seems to overwrite files with the same name. I'm planning on getting this to run automatically, once a day, hence why I'd rather it didn't overwrite the files.

Cheers, Chintan

WinSCP can be used to schedule updates using FTP.

Normally you want files to be overwritten if, and only if, the local copy has a more recent modification time. See WinSCP's synchronize command
