What I would do is maintain a file tag called UPLOADED which represents
the 
last revision uploaded.

cvs diff -rUPLOADED -rHEAD >new_diffs    # this is recursive 
gzip new_diffs
scp new_diffs.gz user at host:new_diffs
cvs tag -r UPLOADED                      # you need to remove the old
tags
cvs tag UPLOADED                         # before you can reset it

then on the remote machine run:
zcat new_diffs.gz | patch
