Thanks. I did try grsync, but only local folders are available to choose from. If I could mount my desktop over wifi as a disk on the tablet then I think grsync would work. I do have an FTP server running on my desktop. Is there a way to sync over FTP? Or mount an FTP server on the tablet?

If I need to use terminal then I could always just use a panel applet that has the option to call commands. I don't remember what it was but I had one at one point on the tablet.
