rsync.  After an initial full copy, it can even be set to download only changed files, saving bandwidth/time.  You can also reverse the direction of the data (upload and download).  Saves permissions and has all sorts of other fun options.  I use it in a weekly cron to copy the distro updates from SuSE.  Works great.  Very handy.
