Use Synchronize (Ctrl-S):

menu option to synhronize

The prompts afterwards walk you through what you need to do.

There is cwRsync which I use for backing up data from Windows PCs to Linux servers.

Older versions are available without fee

As per @warren's answer, WinSCP can synchronize files.

If you want to do it periodically, you need to script it (WinSCP supports scripting) and schedule the WinSCP script using the Windows Scheduler.

The Sync-Option didn't fit my needs. cwRsync also didn't work for me, gave me an Error on Win7 x64.

I used cygwin's rsync (in a Cygwin-Shell) which worked fine. http://www.cygwin.com/
