Any unix:
I have the following cmd line which works fine.
rsync -avr -e ssh /home/dir user@example.com:/home/
But I need to set it up now to rsync to a remote server that only has an FTP server on it.
How do I go about that?
I looked at the rsync help but quickly got lost (I don't do this stuff very often).

You don't. rsync can't do that for you, it is a protocol of its own and doesn't work over FTP.
You might, however, want to try csync. IIRC it provides rsync-like behaviour over HTTP. I can't comment on whether it works over FTP, you'll have to try it.
