The easiest way is to use save() (or even save.image()) then load().

All R platforms use the XDR representation of binary objects in binary
save-d files, and these are portable across all R platforms. (ASCII
saves used to be useful for moving data between platforms but are now
only of historical interest.)


Beyond that, you should review the R Installation and Administration
manual, which is available in your installation or on CRAN.  That will
cover platform specific issues.
