Yes, that's what rsync is for. But you need to really think about what you're asking here. If the server in the US sends its changes to India...and someone in India creates a file with the same name...that change will bounce back to the US and overwrite anything here. Same goes in reverse...you'll have alot of people upset when they lose their work.

Yes....it's called PPTP, and there are many how-tos you can find via Google:
