There's no practical point in being such a purist at the sacrifice of 
the easiest answer. However, I read in passing about "freeghost", 
heretofore referred to as FOG to avoid nasty letters from Symantec:

http://freeghost.no-ip.org/

...but this is for cloning Windows systems using Linux.   [  :-)  ].  As 
I have noted in the past, I use DOS-based Symantec Ghost [11.02] booted 
under FreeDOS, to clone ext3 and NTFS drives. As far as CDs, you could 
look around for Hiren's BootCD.

I really don't see the point of involving FTP in a cloning process. Once 
you've put your drive data online you've sacrificed your privacy 
security. Nor would I use these Web services that offer to store your 
data, email etc. Sure. Hahahaha. And yesterday Congress expanded the 
Government's "wiretapping" powers.
