I would recomend using scp. Especially with multiple computers. One nice 
feature is that (while slowing it down) it is host transparent, and user 
transparent. from host1 logged on as foo the command  
scp boo@host2:/somefile moo@host3:/someotherfile 
works, because it assumes that without a host: it is localhost:
This is useful when your routing tables aren't working right.

In addition to mounting it, an ftp like interface is provied by smbclient.
