Most distros put both a server and a client on your machines and an ftp client is part of it. It's a very handy package.
I've got two Debian boxes, hesiod and nestor, both of which have ssh. To get files from nestor to hesiod I get a command prompt and type: sftp hesiod Just like ftp, it asks for my password and puts me in my home directory. The only difference is that it's encrypted and tab complete does not work. Also like a normal ftp client, sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED] or sftp [EMAIL PROTECTED] will log me into hesiod as jhill. The graphical client, gftp, does ssh as well, but I prefer to make a tar file with the things I want using find. I've read that rsync can use ssh and one day soon, I may find out.
