you know what I do when I want to transfer a big bunch of files?
scp -r big-buncha-files [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/new/home/of/files
You can also use:
scp -r [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/big/buncha/files /new/home/of/files
It's a little more CPU-intensive than FTP'ing them, but who cares? It's
also a lot easier than installing a temporary FTP server, especially
since you've probably already got sshd up and running on at least one of
the boxes.
IMHO the FTP protocol is dying the slow and painful death that it so
richly deserves. It won't be missed.
