    Not mentioned yet:
      cd /path/to/root/of/files && tar -cf - . | ssh me@destination 'cd /path/to destination && tar -xvpf -'
    or similar with "dump ... | ssh ... restore ..." with either the native
    compression of ssh or tar (or no compression at all if the transfered
    size doesn't matter).

    Bye,
    Alexander.
