Deon's answer is one, myself I generally use rsync for such things. Linux has 
ssh for easy setup and it makes a way to transfer files in to a system or 
between systems. I move things from my test setups to and from the main BBS 
using that rather than just ftp (which can be made to work as well). It will 
generally ask for a password in process, but on the local system using the 
login owner you wouldn't need one (works like cp or copy which you could also use), just from system to system. Once ssh is  setup you can also use other tools like filezilla. You can securely transfer  files anywhere in the world with the right permissions.
