Lynn,
I've watched all these shell commands in this thread and nobody has 
mentioned that you could use something like Konqueror for what you want 
to do easily.

Just to copy, open konqueror as file manager, do a split window from the 
menu, gather your directories one each in either pane, then copy.  
Click & drag.  Simple & quick and I'm assuming you are using KDE as 
your window manager.  I've also found filezilla just recently, which I 
like for the same functions in xfce4.

I haven't tried this to a non-X machine yet, but again, using Konq in 
the url use "fish:// or sftp://", plus the login name for that machine ;
with the IP of the machine.  EX:  fish://lynn@<ip address>

That should allow you to get to all parts of that machine to transfer 
files, delete, etc.  I think it will work no matter if one is running X 
and the other is not.

hopefully helpful,
Lee
