  Most firewalls have the ssh port open because it's considered safe.
(And if it's not, it's easy to open in most distros).

  Then you can use scp, rsync or any equivalent tool to transfer files.
(There probably isn't any linux distro that doesn't come by default with
scp and rsync.)

  (Btw, the great thing about rsync is that it can resume interrupted file
transfers, a rather important feature that, oddly, most file transfer tools
completely lack.)
