	U can use nfs for this. Just put the name of the directory from
which u want to copy in /etc/exports of src computer. Run
/usr/sbin/exportfs.
On the dest. computer type
mount -t nfs m/cname:dirname mountpoint
And then u can use the directory of a remote m/c as it it was a directory 
on ur machine itself. One more reason to love Unix.

Otherwise use "tar" to get an archive of the directory and transter the
single file created to dest. m/c and untar it.
