FC2: sshd, rsync [open firewall for sshd] Mac: ssh, rsync All commands issued on Mac: - copy files from FC2 to Mac rsync -avz -e ssh user@fc2host:~/folder ~/ - copy any changed files from Mac back to FC2 rsync -avz -e ssh ~/folder user@fc2host:~/ If you have sshd running on the Mac - you can flip and run the commands on the FC2 box.
