Two ways to sync files on servers.

Two ways to synchronize files:

rsync over ssh (superhandy with keys and a key agent):

rsync -av source destination

Where source and destination are ssh style: username@host:/path/to/

Another nice way to sync files is rdist.

rdist allows you to sync files to many nodes from a master (it is easy to set up and configure).
It is very handy. It is probably included with your distribution, it is definately used by several webservice providers and the homepage is here: http://www.magnicomp.com/rdist/
