You can use netcat and compress it for speedier transfer:
On the receving machine:
nc -l 80 | tar xvzf -
On the sending machine:
tar cvz directory | nc IP_of_receiving_machine 80
Note, however, that the usual HTTP traffic may get in the way. You really should use a different, unused port instead of 80, e.g. 8888.
