I use scp alot-

'scp user@remote:/usr/local/whateverfile .' logs into computer remote as 'user' and retrieves whateverfile and puts it in the current directory.
'scp -r /opt/whateverdir user@remote:/usr/local/whateverdir' should put /opt/whateverdir and all subcontents on the remote server in /usr/local/.
'scp * zaurus@192.168.129.201:/mnt/card/' should copy everything in the current directory to 192.168.129.201's /mnt/card/ (typical zaurus sd card location) as user zaurus.

You didn't say what version of MacOS you were using but I presume OSX.

You should be able to sftp/scp as previously described but if you are using Cacko 1.21b you should also be able to set the transfer mode to storage and use the Z like a USB storage device to access your CF or SD cards.

scp is part of ssh, which should be loaded by default on both the cacko rom and OSX. It's skind of like ftp, but uses encryption. Doesn't have anything to do with samba. Setting the zaurus to storage mode (settings tab, pc link icon) makes it look like an expensive usb memory stick
