Some already existing gists (short peices of code that aren't worthy of a repository) - feel free to contribute or improve.
Filezilla - Exclude directories like administrator, libraries, cache, tmp and any others that you don't really need to download for every single project. Exclude files such as .jpa, .zip, .psd, .indd and other large files that are for the project but not the final upload. Simply go into Filezilla and do a File > import. It won't mess up your existing settings I don't think BUT please back up your filters just in case.
