I'm not sure how often the ftp site is updated from the staging area, but it
needs to be more than hourly, so i can get builds to testers as quickly as
possible when doing daily verifications. Every 15 minutes would be ideal, 30
minutes is probably doable as well.

An alternative is me learning how to do the pushes by hand, so i can do them on
demand.

It should be doable by hand too but the push is done with "ftp-rsync" account 
and needs your RSA public key. The script itself is in 
/share/systems/scripts/ (something with ftp & mozilla, don't remember the name). 
You don't need all the commands from it but just the one doing upload (it also 
download logs, creates reports and such).

I think best solution to this is that if there is a urgent need for pushing 
files up and can't wait till next push (every *:15):
a) copy them to staging area
b) scp them to komodo:/ftp-root/anonymous/pub/ (and make sure modes are 644).

So files are available immediately and won't be overwritten in next push (modes 
and owners might change but that doesn't matter).
