When I was working that way, I defined a Makefile, which applied
all of the necessary steps from author-edited source through
pre-processing to "uploading" to the web server.
Once the rules had been set up in the Makefile, it was actually less
effort to type "make" than to go through the typical interactive
dialogue with an FTP client for uploading static pages! "make" was
quite happy to check timestamps to see which source files had been
modified since the last action, and leave the unaffected ones alone.
There's a bit of a learning curve at the start, but it seemed worth
it.
