ftp requires installing an FTP server, which is a PITA to get right.

I tried 'scp' but don't know the correct syntax.
send
scp file user@server:~/directory
rec
scp ser@server:~/directory file

If you have your ssh keys set up properly, it's kind of like so:

(to copy file1 on host1 to host2 directory /home/me/)
host1:~: scp file1 user@host2:/home/me/
(to recursively copy all of dir1 to host2 /home/me/)
host1:~: scp -r dir1 user@host2:/home/me/

If your ~/.ssh/config is set up properly, you can omit the user@ part and probably not have to put in a password. Also, KDE's dolphin has the fish://user@host/ KIOslave, which is _very useful_ if you like GUI file managers.
