We use robocopy that run in the background on our web servers. A developer will upload files to a "staging" server and the web server will pull it from that "staging" server.
Depending on how many files you have, this can synchronzie in just a matter of seconds or minutes.

Its really fast if you get it set up right. But im sure there are better ways to do this as well, just thought I would throw that out there.
