You may want to look at ``rsync'' as it's very good at doing things like this as it minimzes the network traffic. The Mac version of rsync handles resource forks properly, but this may be an issue going between OS X and FreeBSD depending on the progams that use the data (e.g. the Reunion genealogy software still loos at the resource forks).
