As Jim said, scp (secure copy). It functions much the same as copy and even has the "preserve" option (dash-p) so the transfered files maintain their original date/time stamp, permissions, etc.

Say you want to copy files whose names include today's date-stamp in /nas1/prod/data of node "penguin" to /nas3/dev/data of node "seal" and you are on irrelevant server. Your user ID is samit on penguin and s99 on seal. Oh, and you want to preserve the file attributes of the source files. Here's what you would type:
Code:
irrelevant$ scp -p samit@penguin:/nas1/prod/data/*20090401* s99@seal:/nas3/dev/data

sftp-server(1M)                                           System Administration Commands                                           sftp-server(1M)

NAME

       sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

DESCRIPTION

       sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer.

       sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. There are no options or config settings.

       To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

       Subsystem   sftp     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

       See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file.

       There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Successful completion.

       >0       An error occurred.
