Ok - the requirements.

FC2: sshd, rsync [open firewall for sshd]
Mac: ssh, rsync

All commands issued on Mac:

 - copy files from FC2 to Mac
rsync -avz -e ssh user at fc2host:~/folder ~/

 - copy any changed files from Mac back to FC2
rsync -avz -e ssh ~/folder user at fc2host:~/

If you have sshd running on the Mac - you can flip and run the
commands on the FC2 box.
