You can use SCP (Secure Copy

scp <file> <username>@<IP address or hostname>:<Destination>

Example: 

scp "TPS Reports.odw" joe@laptop:Desktop/

If you are using one server to backup another you could use rsync. It does a full transfer the first time then any transfer after that it only does the changed files/new files.

I use it to for my backup servers.

  • I used it to transfer 48 gb at first. I did it over the weekend so I'm not exactly sure how long it took.
