The best tool for this is rsync which works fine if you have ssh access 
on the receiving system. However, most tools, like rsync, are unix-tools 
and will not copy resource forks. Neither my TeX/ghostscript 
distribution nor many pure Mac OS X applications use resource forks.

Otherwise, drag/drop on a NFS-mounted volume (or ditto) will work.
