Version control over multiple FTP servers

I have a few PHP classes which I use on many web servers, using different hosting providers and therefore I've got only FTP access to them. I'm having a hard time updating the classes whenever I update the classes, needing to login on each ftp account and updating the files.

Has anyone been through a similar situation and found a solution?

The question is too broad, but since it's tagged git I'll look at it from this perspective.

If you maintain your website projects in Git, or maintain your class library (or whatever it is in PHP) in Git, you could use a specialized Git → FTP tool, git-ftp, which can be used to update remote directories via FTP from Git repositories. It works by keeping a file in the remote directory which records the commit ID with which the last synchronisation has been made, so the next synchronisation will only update/delete/modify those files/directories which have been actually changed.
