You can try the ircp package. It is only in testing/unstable, not in
woody. 

http://packages.debian.org/ircp

Alternativelly: establish a ppp connection between the two boxes, and use 
an ssh connection to transfer the files.

The first option is easier, but I never used it myself. I have used the
second option successfully between two linux boxes.

Hope this helps,

Jaume
