It's been mentioned before, but unison is a good solution here. I use it
between my laptop and my desktop; some setup is obviously required, but
the complex part (authentication) is pretty solid, since it works via
ssh.
The only real downside I can think of is that it's written in a very
non-standard language, so changing it will be more difficult than with a
program written in C; but that's all. It's fairly complete.
