I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough- I meant:
On the FTP server, is there an index of which CTM delta files are on the FTP server?  I'd like to automate fetching just the new deltas...

If there was perhaps 1 file with a consistent name, I could fetch that on a nightly basis and fetch the other CTM files.

Cool.
Is there any redundancy for this process, for example, deltas being created out on the east/west mirrors?  Perhaps as an SVN post-commit hook?
