I normally use scp to transfer files around. You will need a ssh server installed if you don't already have one.
This works well though large files can take quite a bit of time to transfer compared to say ftp due to the overhead of the encryption.

You can use netcat (pacman -S /gnu-netcat , command is nc).
On the receiving end:
nc -vv -l -p 1234 > filename
on the sending machine:
cat myfile | nc -c 192.168.1.22 1234
Change IP and port (1234) if needed.

Yes, the TCP/IP Swiss Army knife.

There is also a Window$ version, albeit I never used it.

netcat does udp just fine too.
