The suggestions of rsync and unison are good ones, but you might also
like to consider a version control system like CVS or Subversion,
especially if the file formats are quite textual and so conveniently
diffable. My life has got quite a lot simpler since I started storing
substantial chunks of my home directories on the three machines I use
regularly in a Subversion repository.
Setting this up takes longer, but it's worth it if you ever need to look
back through the history of your work.
