    Well, while it's not as efficient (unless you tell it to be so) scp
(part of the SSH family of tools) works very easily and reliably...and
with keys, so you can automate it securely.

    Just try:

    scp /path/to/file username at remotecomputer:/path/to/file

    And that'll do it.  Keep in mind that using RSA keys is not only
convenient, but secure, too. SSH gets brute-force attacks, if you
computer "faces the open sea"...

    Enjoy!
