First, I'm trying to avoid Samba since my network is windows free.

I've got a number of machines that I frequently connect to for transferring files (usually by going to places > Connect to Server > ssh etc.) however I'd like to be able to do this via command line. One of my machines used frequently is a Fedora 12 box the rest are Ubuntu (a mix of 9.10 and 10.04)

Eventually I'd like to have certain folders mounted automatically on boot but I can wait if I can just get the most efficient way to mount these so I can use the cp or mv commands from a commandline.
