I haven't used the Linux version of FreeFileSync in a while but I don't think it came in an ARM flavour from the FreeFileSync site. At the time I was looking at it, some people had compiled it for use on a Raspberry Pi. A quick search found trying to compile for raspberrypi which may help you.

It might be easier to use rsync on both sides. I used Homebrew to update the antique version of rsync on Mac OSX Mojave running in a VM when I was playing with it. See How to update Rsync on Mac OS Mojave and High Sierra for the procedure I used.
