You can use rcp, scp, or ftp. You can find examples of each (if your system has all three) in the man pages.

$ man rcp
$ man ftp
$ man scp

Scp is probably the best to use - it a copy using ssh and would be more secure then the others. Sftp is also another option.

and as for a small example:

$ scp source/file.c remoteuser@remoteaddr:remote/dir
$ scp -r remoteuser@remoteaddr:remote/dir ~/tmp

check-out the man pages for good descriptions.
