A graphical version of ssh and scp can be found in Konqueror/kde. I use the "fish" ioslave to transfer files between my linux boxes. Just type "fish:/[EMAIL PROTECTED]" into the address bar and and you can browse "host's" files as if they were on a local machine. The big, fat downside is that you need kde (probably only on one machine, though). Nfs works good too, and isn't too hard to set up.
