SharePoint Deploy WSP to another server

Question

I made my first WSP with VS2008, and used WSP Builder to build and deploy to my local install (SharePoint and VS2008 on same dev box). Now I want to get the WSP onto a staging server, in general, how is this done, copying the WSP to the remote server's file system then using STSADM?
