It would just grant access to the information remotely. If you truly want to sync the data, rsync over ssh is the way to go. It's pretty easy to get it running in the background, just set up a cron job that runs at your desired interval (once a day, twice a day, every 5 minutes, etc.) to do the dirty work. That should sync you up without any interaction.
