If you need to copy a bunch of stuff *and* keep your permissions you can do something like
tar czf - /files/I/want/to/back/up/* | ssh -l root -c "(cd /new/location/for/files && tar -xf - )"
Basically you are creating a tar file and outputting it to STDOUT which is piped to STDIN of an ssh session which sends it to STDIN of a tar process running on the other machine.

I am moving servers and I need to copy the entire html directory about 500
megs.
I really don't want to have to ftp down to my pc and ftp back up to the new
server.
server1 =======
cd /dir/of/html tar cvfz backup.tgz * ftp <server2> login pass put backup.tgz quit
server2 =======
cd /to/where/you/uploaded/the/file mv backup.tgz /dir/of/html/folder tar xvfz backup.tgz
done.
Of course, if both servers were on the same LAN, you could use NFS and mount the two and then just mv the file right into the proper dir, but its your choice. The above is just using standard FTP.
