rsync or scp if it's Linux - Linux also works.

DLM manages your line the same way DRM manages your rights.

Thanks Waldo, that worked a treat.
@avatastic I had to upload a .img file to a router but it needed to be from a http://server so it turned out. I might check out rsync now you have mentioned it though. scp is my normal route for small file transfer.
