Personally I use SSHFS to transfer files from my laptop to my desktop and vice versa, but that requires *NIX on both ends.
Can always go WebDAV. Really meant for collaborative work environments but works nicely for NAS applications as well.

Big fan of plain Jane FTP for bulk transfers with low overhead.
