Do you have a network of any kind running?

I use SugarSync (https://www.sugarsync.com/referral?rf=c5t99dih4zf4x) works great, and has a minimal cost. Just don't sync app's and itunes.

Actually i do and I get where you are heading opening up folders and exchanging from MBP to G5 or other way around..

There is actually syncing software that will do the syncing for you... you just tell it what folders you want to sync.

This is the one I use. It works great and it is donation ware so you can try before you buy and if you like it you just pay what you feel appropriate, if at all:

SyncTwoFolders (http://tcfj.pagesperso-orange.fr/site/ind_JS.html?Prg_S.html&Prg_AutresRB.html)

A lot of people use ChronoSync (http://www.econtechnologies.com/pages/cs/chrono_overview.html) it will do more than SyncTwoFolders, but it also costs $40 so I would try SyncTwoFolders first and then if it doesn't do what you need it to download the Demo version of ChronoSync and see if you like it better and are willing to pay the price.

That is my recommendation anyway.
