Vinyl-ftp seems to work just fine, with the following additions to my **gulpfile.js** :

```
// ## Globals
...
var gutil = require('gulp-util');
var ftp = require('vinyl-ftp');

...
// ### Vinyl FTP
gulp.task('deploy', function() {
  var conn = ftp.create( {
    host: 'ftp.mydomain.com',
    user: 'username',
    password: 'password',
    parallel: 10,
    log: gutil.log
  });
  var globs = [
    '*',
    '*.php',
    'dist/**',
    'lang/**',
    'templates/*.php',
    'lib/*.php',
    '!.git',
    '!*.json',
    '!*.md',
    '!*.xml',
    '!assets',
    '!bower_components',
    '!dist/scripts/jquery.js',
    '!dist/scripts/jquery.js.map',
    '!dist/scripts/main.js',
    '!dist/scripts/main.js.map',
    '!dist/scripts/modernizr.js',
    '!dist/scripts/modernizr.js.map',
    '!dist/styles/editor-style.css',
    '!dist/styles/editor-style.css.map',
    '!dist/styles/main.css',
    '!dist/styles/main.css.map',
    '!gulpfile.js',
    '!node_modules',
    '!node_modules/**',
  ];
  // using base = '.' will transfer everything to /public_html correctly
  // turn off buffering in gulp.src for best performance
  return gulp.src( globs, { base: '.', buffer: false } )
    .pipe( conn.newer( '/public_html/web/app/themes/sage' ) ) // only upload newer files
    .pipe( conn.dest( '/public_html/web/app/themes/sage' ) );
});

// ### Build
// `gulp build` - Run all the build tasks but don't clean up beforehand.
// Generally you should be running `gulp` instead of `gulp build`.
gulp.task('build', function(callback) {
  runSequence('styles',
              'scripts',
              ['fonts', 'images'],
              'deploy',
              callback);
});
```

Since the deploy task also runs on the `gulp` command, I had to manually exclude the static and maps files in the **dist** folder to prevent them from being uploaded.
