Use scp or rsync

I'd recommend rsync (over SSH). That way you can do an initial full copy and then when that's done run it again and transfer anything that's new/deleted/changed since your initial copy.

Hi I would use SCP to start with, then rsync afterwards if your files are always changing. Rsync is good at finding changes but cant take a long time with the initial copy. Hope that helps Andrew

If you have a few different directories you can easily separate out I would suggest running a few different copies of rscync/scp each on a different directory. That will generally help you get the files moved quicker.

Rsync over ssh is the best method. Login to server that contains the data and issue:
