Another vote for Unison.  I've been using it for years now and I really
like it.

I don't know how others use it, but my setup requires ssh with public
keys.  Its not that hard to setup if you google for something like 'ssh
no password'.

Cygwin will allow you to setup an ssh server if you're using Windows and
also has multiple versions of unison.
