How about rsync over ssh?
http://oreilly.com/pub/h/38
also if there are many many you should do a tar over ssh first then
rsync them.
e.g.
tar -cvzf - /home | ssh hostname "cat > home.tar.gz"
even better extract at the same time:
tar -cvzf - /home/user | ssh user at hostname "mkdir home.bk; cd home.bk;
tar zpxvf -;"
I hope this helps'
