You could try: http://www.chungles.com/about.php

I have never used it, but it claims to be platform independent.

In case you would like to sync files across the two machines, you could use DropBox.(http://www.dropbox.com/) This is free up to 2GB. We use DropBox at our company and it is an excellent, seemless, backup and sync solution. It does a decent job of version control as well.
