Since your "mput'ing" you have access to the source files.
What if you used tar to save all the files to a single tar file and them ftp the single tar file over.....
You could create smaller tar files if the size is to big.

Other options for remote transfer are rcp or scp.

Or nfs mount the file system and copy the files directy.

NAME
dscextract - extract a single file from a Debian source package SYNOPSIS
dscextract [options] dscfile file DESCRIPTION
dscextract reads a single file from a Debian source package. The idea is to only look into .diff.gz files (source format 1.0) or .debian.tar.gz/bz2 files (source format 3.0) where possible, hence avoiding to unpack large tarballs. It is most useful for files in the debian/ subdirectory. file is relative to the first level directory contained in the package, i.e. with the first component stripped. OPTIONS
-f "Fast" mode. For source format 1.0, avoid to fall back scanning the .orig.tar.gz file if file was not found in the .diff.gz. (For 3.0 packages, it is assumed that debian/* are exactly the contents of debian.tar.gz/bz2.) EXIT STATUS
0 file was extracted. 1 file was not found in the source package. 2 An error occurred, like dscfile was not found. EXAMPLE
dscextract dds_2.1.1+ddd105-2.dsc debian/watch || test $? = 1 AUTHOR
