This GitHub Action uploads files and directories to an FTP server. It computes the SHA-256 hash of each file to determine which files have changed and only uploads modified or new files.

• Upload files and directories to an FTP server
• Compute SHA-256 hashes to detect changes
• Only upload modified or new files
• Maintain a hash file on the server to track file changes

• host: The FTP server hostname (required)
• username: The FTP server username (required)
• password: The FTP server password (required)
• ftpdir: The directory on the FTP server to upload files to (default: ./)
• localdir: The local directory to upload (default: ./)
• hashfile: The name of the hash file to track changes (default: .file_hashes.json)
