Actually, rsync can be used to make incremental backups. Please see:
http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/#Incremental
http://rsync.samba.org/examples.html

The second URL describes a 7 day incremental solution based upon rsync.

However, if all the original poster has is FTP access, I would second
the suggestion to use tar with a little bit of scripting.
