If they're *nix, just use ssh (or the windows SSH client Putty) to connect to them, then run SCP or SFTP between that box and another box. If you're running Windows, install Cygwin. Then do exactly the same thing (use ssh to connect to them.. etc.) SCP (Secure CoPy) allows you to set up security certificates and then batch copy files between servers. Also, check out the cross-platform file synchronisation program called Unison. Available as part of Cygwin or directly here: http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ It uses the RSync protocol to massivly reduce bandwidth requirements when transferring updated files.
