Can somebody help me, please?

Have a look at rsync.

I use it for just the purpose you are talking about. The nice thing about rsync is that it only transfers the parts of the file that are different. It does NOT re-transfer the whole file every time.

Rsync can do its copy either via rsh (requires .rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv) or ssh. SSH is the default in the latest version and is what I use.
