Since you have ssh installed on the computer them you most likely have scp
also installed. scp will do a recursive copy with compression so it has some
major advantages over ftp: secure, easy to use (like the command line copy
command on windows) and works every time.

On your Linux box type man scp. Also if you are doing this between two Linux
boxes check and see if rsync is installed (type man rsync) if so use it with
the "-avz -e ssh" options active.

Good Luck
