try rcp. but rcp is not present in all the servers so its safe to go for FTP or telnet

To copy a local file to a remote host, enter:

Code:
rcp localfile host2:/home/eng/jane

The file localfile from the local host is copied to the remote host host2.

To copy a remote file from one remote host to another remote host, enter:

Code:
rcp host1:/home/eng/jane/newplan host2:/home/eng/mary

The file /home/eng/jane/newplan is copied from remote host host1 to remote host host2.
