You can use CVSNT to copy files to your website on commit, by adding e.g.
an ftp command to the postcommand or postcommit file
<http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/postcommand.html>.

You can also set up a shadow copy and then run an ftp command on it based
on the timestamp. <http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/shadow-file.html> 

Or you can use this command to find out which files have changed
<http://tinyurl.com/22e8cr> and upload them manually.
