If you're cool with using the terminal you can set up a couple of  
scripts to rsync back and forth between the server and your machine.  
rsync is very efficient at doing incremental syncs so you can set it  
just to sync the whole directory tree and it'll work it all out.

Put:
$ rsync -avz -e ssh /Users/me/project/* user at server.example.com:/home/ 
www

and

Get:
$ rsync -avz -e ssh user at server.example.com:/home/www/* /Users/me/ 
project

If you register your public ssh key with the server you won't have to  
type a password. It's very easy in practice - just keep a terminal  
window open and fire off the Get script whenever you want to update  
your local files to reflect changes on the server and Put when you've  
made an edit you want to commit to the server.
