You can use scp, tar or rsync. Rsync is a low level copy process that actually takes a great load on the system. Developers often learn it and don't realize that scp will work just as well, and maintain all the permissions and ownership.
You can also use NFS to mount a shared directory and have scripts move things back and forth. This is actually a good solution if you have a stable unloaded network and are running NFS4. We always mounted our user directories across the network and used an admin share for tar copy and move via cron. It's really nice to use the same tools in a bin across network machines.
