I don't know what tools either provides, but I can think of a few *evil*
ways to transfer a file between machines without any decent
file-transfer stuff.

I think the best [worst] I ever saw was as follows:
1) uuencode file
2) split into 8 byte chunks
3) use adb to write chunks into /etc/utmp, sleeping after each write
4) use rwho to retrieve chunks

But seriously, if that's looking attractive, you have FAR bigger
problems.
