I have some downloads (large files) managed using drupal, now I would like to be able to update this file using some sychnronize tools (FTP).
So the update would be done on server-level without drupal function.
Is there a way to do this?

If the filenames are the
If the filenames are the same and just being replaced, there should be no problem.
I'd advise some more advanced synching tool than FTP for anything automated though. rcp, scp, or my favorite: rsync
If you are aiming to have a fileserver 'drop-box' that is indexed and maintained by Drupal, that's a bit harder. There have been numerous proposals, I'm not sure which is the most stable or up-to-date though.
There is a whole category of file-management projects for you to look at. I've only tried filebrowser for real.
Asset and media manager tried a bit harder but I can't recommend anything based on your description.
