Take a look at unison.  It will do 2 way syncs if you want and only copy 
stuff that has changed on either end (you can override things 
interactively).  I use it to synchronize between laptop and desktop and 
also remotely over a network.  You can do files or directories.  I 
believe it uses either the rsync algorithm or something similar.  Works 
well for me.
