Or try Oscar, available by anonymous FTP from apple.apple.com. It's an application that runs under MultiFinder (set it as the startup application), and allows background transfer of files from an "outbox" folder on any machine to an "inbox" folder on any other. You just drop the files you want to transfer in the outbox subfolder with the username of the Mac you want to transfer them to, and as soon as your Mac is able to contact Oscar on the target Mac, the files will magically move to a subfolder of the inbox folder marked with your username on that Mac.
