SPUG: remote synchronization

Okay, this is probably more of a Unix question than a strictly Perl
question, but (as I've mentioned before) posting to SPUG usually
elicits more useful info (and less useless crap) than posting to the
more strictly appropriate forums...
Is anyone aware of any simple tools for doing file *synchronization*
between directories on remote Unix boxes -- preferably using SSL
connections? The tools I am aware of are things like CVS that do way
more than just file synchronization, and require way more setup
hassle than I'm willing to commit to this right now. I'm looking for
a simple tool that would act sort of like scp, except would copy
files in either direction depending on modification times. E.g.,
where I could type something like:
sync /foo remote.host.address:/bar
at a shell prompt, and the contents of /foo on the localhost would
get synchronized with the contents of /bar on the remote host, with
newer files overwriting older files (in either direction).
Any suggestions? Or do I have to re-invent yet another wheel and
write this thing myself (in Perl, of course)?
