UUCP -- a.k.a. Unix to Unix copy? Why, in the good ol' days(tm) we used

Should work with just a NULL MODEM cable or adaptor. You can buy them
at most places that sell serial cable and adaptors or roll your own with

Most distros have uucp on the disk(s). Some install it as part of a
minimal base system.
