You might also want to consider Samba + VPN as well; scp is great for porting files over long distances, or a last resort for dealing with Unix <=> Windows transferring, but just seems incredibly kludgey when dealing with files/directories otherwise (having to maintain an ssh connection, having to install a scp/ssh client per machine for instance are what I consider kludgey).
