If your request is to move files from the 32 to the 64 back and forth,
from command line, then another alternative is ftp. I find ftp easier
and faster
(than scp and nfs) in certain cases.

For ftp:

32-bit # apt-get install  ftpd

64-bit $ ftp <64 bit ip address>

default install will allow you to ftp from the 64 to the 32 as a regular user
and get (32 --> 64) and put (64 --> 32) files 1 by 1 or multiple at a time
with the mget and mput commands.

If want to add the security of ssh/scp to it, try sftp (but that may
slow down the
transfer speed due to encryption/decryption).

HTH,

Peter
