Well there's several file transfer protocols you could use, TFTP, FTP, SFTP and you can do SCP and Rysnc over SSH. AFAIK there's python libs that handle all of those. Unless you need very high performance I'd suggest using SFTP (Secure file transfer protocol). Lookup the Paramiko library, it does this and other SSH based stuff.
