scp is provided with ssh.  So if you can ssh, you can scp.  You can look
in the man page for details: man scp

scp is like the cp (copy) command but you can copy between hosts.

Ex:
scp myfile.txt 192.168.1.2:
(don't forget the ':')
will copy myfile.txt in the current directory (say home directly on
Linux) to home directory of host 192.168.1.2 (IP of Mac OS X my system).

Of course, you can specify a user name if different on both system, a
destination path/filename, copy directories recursively, etc.

No, you need to configure an NFS server which is not easy.  On OS X,
you can use the freely available GUI program NFSManager.  On Linux, I
read the HOWTO.  Also, you will have to change the uid and gid so they
match on both system.
