If the two remote machines run Linux/Unix, you can use the built-in SSH and SCP facilities to copy over the files via an encrypted connection. You will need SSH (command-line) access to the machines (use Putty from your home machine).

You can also use plain old FTP, which will be faster - again you will probably need command-line access.

Again using linux this could be done using ftp combined with a cronjob. Another option would be to pull the data to the remote machines using either curl or wget
