if you don't have NFS support in your kernels and don't want to bother,
rsync is easy to install and use. Locally, it might transfer a 
bit faster if you use it with rsh instead of ssh  (you set this with 
the RSYNC_RSH environment variable as per the rsync manpage).

NFS isn't too hard, though. google will find you some tutorials.
