rsync+ssh via cron every night works OK, at least if file changes are only
being made on one system and not in parallel on both machines.
If you want to do filesharing over the Internet, using a VPN such as OpenVPN
with NFS or Samba works fine, too. It's easier to get Samba to pay attention
to only the VPN address if you want to improve security; with NFS, you pretty
much have to set up a firewall to contain it.
