Mount the remote directory via fuse and sshfs and then use you favorite
file manager to simply copy the directories and files over. If you want
to script it you still can using any tool on your system you want. 

Thank you

With FUSE it is possible to implement a fully functional filesystem in a
userspace program.  Features include:
    * Simple library API
    * Simple installation (no need to patch or recompile the kernel)
    * Secure implementation
    * Userspace - kernel interface is very efficient
    * Usable by non privileged users
    * Runs on Linux kernels 2.4.X and 2.6.X
    * Has proven very stable over time

Description
This is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol.
Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy to
set up: i.e. on the server side there's nothing to do. On the client
side mounting the filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with
ssh
