I use the gnu set of tools called cygwin, http://www.cygwin.com/, this
provides an almost full *nix environment on your PC, including the 'xterm'
like rxvt.

The important parts of the installation for you would be rsync which allows
you to synch a directory structure on a remote machine. I have a makefile
setup so that i simply type 'make get' or 'make put' and my local machine
is
synchronised with my remote one (or visa-versa)

It only updates what has changed, and because of some weird things that i
do, i can tell it to ignore timestamps, and just look at file sizes

the command I use is as follows:

rsync -e ssh -avz --size-only --update --exclude '.*.swp'
username@xxxxxxx:/home/www/username/  ./

rsh, or ssh access to your server is required, as is rsync on the server
(if
its *nux it should be there).
