scp is the easiest in this regard. It runs over SSH, so your data is secure - especially if it's over the open internet.
The commands are as follows: scp user1@otherhost:/home/user1/myfile .
This assumes user1 is a user on that machine, and has SSH access. The file /home/user1/myfile will be copied to the current folder - denoted by the dot ( . )

and in fact, if /home/user1 is user1@otherhost's home directory, that can be shortened to...
$ scp user1@otherhost:myfile .
you can also copy the other way...
$ scp myfile user1@otherhost:.
which would put it in user1@otherhost's home directory... or...
$ scp -R . user1@otherhost:/remote/path
would copy ALL files and subdirectories from the current directory to /remote/path on otherhost...
`man scp` for lots more options...
Thanks for your help. Yes, I used scp several time and still using it :) But in this case there's a lot of file in different directories, so I need a tool like mc (I don't know if mc runs always over ssh) What file manager that works over console do you recommend me? Thanks at all Best Regards

fuse+sshfs ( wiki.centos.org has details ) - then 'mc' locally.

sshfs is indeed a handy way to access remote filesystems through ssh. But I do not see any details on the CentOS wiki. Here's a brief instruction:
# yum install dkms-fuse fuse fuse-sshfs # depmod -a ; modprobe fuse $ mkdir localdir/ $ sshfs remoteuser@remotebox:/some/path localdir/
To unmount:
$ fusermount -u localdir/
Note that you do not have to be root to mount/umount using sshfs.
Another option is to use gftp. After you start it, just select "SSH2" instead of the default "FTP". Then you will be connecting through ssh (remote does not need ftp daemon running) and you get an mc-like session quite easily.

i thought there was something in the wiki on this... humm anyway, one thing you missed is the usermod to get that user into the fuse group.

If the client is running X, then konqueror using the fish protocol (fish://user@ip-address/) supports transfers over ssh, and gftp supports the ssh2 protocol too.

In fact, midnight commander supports fish. I just tried and it worked. Use this format:
cd /#sh:remoteuser@remotemachine/

You've got a lot of good suggestions already but sftp is also a good one. Very similar to ftp but over ssh.

Rsync is even better, especially if you are updating files that already exist or are taking a whole subdirectory but even if not, the syntax is similar to scp and lets you add -z for compression.
Thanks too all for you help, works great! Best regards
