Here are 3 options:

- package them into an archive, send it (ftp or whatever), unpack

- use a network aware copy program that does recursive copies (scp, rcp, 
wget, rsync)

- mount the destination filesystem over the network (smb, nfs, probably 
others--afs?)

Which is easiest depends on what's installed, what can be installed, and 
what you know how to use.

What have you thought of so far?  Probably that will be fine, but we'll 
speak up if it's really silly. :-)
