Are you able to use scp?
scp big_directory user@otherhost:/path/to/dir
You can also try NFS mounting a directory from the destination host. That
way, you can just use "cp -R".
Finally, you can also try an FTP client that can recursively upload whole
directories automatically; I believe IglooFTP (a graphical FTP client) can
do this.
