I created these two scripts, which allow me to synchronize things between office, home desktop and laptop, in any direction I want, only updating what is newer under a parent directory and only deleting files after asking for confirmation. I found that sometimes I forgot that I created a new file in the office, say under Projects/ABC/, and when I work from home and I want to "syncsend Projects", it asks if I want to delete that new file. I then say "no" and subsequently run "syncget Projects" to bring that file to my desktop at home. You want to save these scripts in your ~/bin/ directory and make them executable (right-click/Properties or chmod ug+x sync*). Edit the files to have your own default destination and maybe adapt the default exclusions. You also want to enter the option "--dry-run" at the prompt when you run it the first time, just to make sure the scripts do what you want, before it really counts.
