I recommmend scp (secure copy). It requires a ssh (secure shell) server
be running on one side and a ssh client installed on the other. scp
usually is part of the ssh client package.
The alternative is good ol' ftp. IglooFTP is a good gui client and ftp
server comes installed (in-securely!) on most Linux distro's out of the
box.
