There are various options like ftp, rsync etc. but the most useful of these is the scp which comes preinstalled with openssh package. Syntax is simple: scp file.txt user@host:/folder/to/which/user/has/permissions.
There are some other flags, for example, if you are using a different port other than 22 for ssh, you'd need to mention that in the command with -P option.
scp -P PORT file.txt user@host:/folder/to/which/user/has/permissions
For directories, it is advised to archive folder(s) in some container (most easy is .tar; tar -cvf myfolder.tar folder1 folder2 folderN) and then use scp to send it across to another Linux machine (just replace file.txt with myfolder.tar)

rsync -a should be as accurate as accuracy can get. -a stands for the archive mode.
A good description is given in its man page:
rsync -avz foo:src/bar /data/tmp
This would recursively transfer all files from the directory src/bar on
the machine foo into the /data/tmp/bar directory on the local machine.
The files are transferred in "archive" mode, which ensures that
symbolic links, devices, attributes, permissions, ownerships, etc. are
preserved in the transfer. Additionally, compression will be used to
reduce the size of data portions of the transfer.
The compression flag is -z and -v switches verbosity on.
Study the man page to find out much more.
