Yes. It's (probably) overkill, but the tools are there, many users
already have familiarity with them, and there's little or no setup
involved.

NFS or Samba or similar are better/faster solutions if you commonly
share files across computers, but require setup. Samba is nice if your
Windows friends come over and plug in their laptop.
