Moving Files Between YDL Machines

[Ron Smith]

You might want to look into rcp.

  I know it is available for OS X (it either installs by default or with 
the developer tools cd, I'm not sure which). It uses reasonably secure 
authentication (kerberos) although it does not encrypt or tunnel the 
data stream between the two machines. You might be able to tunnel it 
through ssh if you need that much security.
