Synchronizing directory hierarchies via SFTP

[Kurt Buff]

Apologies for coming late to this...

I see there's been a substantial amount of discussion regarding this,
and you seem to have a satisfactory resolution.

However, for the sake of completeness, there is a utility in the ports
tree called unison which seems to fit your exact requirements. It
works with SSH, and comes with or without GUI.
