I've got a lot of .cpp and .h files that I am moving back & forth between un
ix and windows to keep them in sync. They compile in both unix and windows. 
Sometimes I work in unix, sometimes in windows.

What is the best way to automatically keep these files in sync? I'm doing it
 manually now, but it is becoming time consuming. The unix machine is pretty
 secure. I only have a ssl connection (pscp,
putty).

I could write a program to do it, but was wondering if there is already some
thing.

You need an SCM system.  Take a look at CVS, Subversion, Arch,
BitKeeper, or any other you may happen to find.

See http://better-scm.berlios.de/ for some comments about some of
these.

The network is the computer, remember?  Set up an NFS server (or SAMBA
if you must), and share one set of files to both computers.

NFS has only been around, oh, 20 years or so.  :-)

I use CVS myself, and with WinCvs on Windows it works like a charm.

Yes, indeed... WinCvs is really well done.
