scp will work.  Trick is to use SSH keys, and not have a password on your key,
then copying a file is as:

scp localfilename user@host:/path/to/destfile

You'll need to use ssh-keygen to generate the SSH key pairs.  The private key
(id_rsa) goes in your ~/.ssh (that's .ssh under your home directory), and the
public key (id_rsa.pub) goes into .ssh/authorized_keys in the destination
user's home directory.
