Add an automatic file copy to the save-key definition in your editor. 
Then whenever you save the file locally, you'll also be copying it to 
the master location.

If that's too hard, or your editor can't support it, write a bash script 
that does an rsynch every 10 minutes.

rsynch does what scp does, but it works on whole directories, copying 
only those files that changed.  And you can fine tune what "changed" means.

There are other, less resource intense approaches, but if one of these 
works, it'll be pretty painless to set up.
