I use the program "SyncTwoFolders" in order to maintain two folders (including several sub folders on them) synchronized in my two Mac computers. It works very well for me. -- Gracias Juan I.

I have a utility which will do it - my concern though is that it shouldn't be necessary, and that people who expect Macs to "just work" (using the GUI), should get the expected results. I'm not talking about Windows users expecting directory copy to merge files. This seems to me to be a bug, not a design choice.
