If you have only a few directories to update then a double directory
file manager will copy only changed or new files with just a few
keystrokes. You should own at least one file manager anyway. For a few
directories I use FC/2. For a whole partition I use Larson Commander
because of the statistics it provides.

For syncing two directories you also need to remove obsolete files.

Command line possibilities include:

Command Line Utilities
CSSDIR
DIRSYNC
DIRTOOLS

So far I have only used DIRSYNC.
