scp too slow? try bbcp

bbcp is an alternative to scp that for me was 6x faster – it uses ssh as a transport but uses parallel streams. You may need to open up some firewall ports. Do not use if you don’t want your network bandwidth saturated!

Example usage specifying an open port range on the remote server:

bbcp -z -Z 9160:9200 remoteserver.com:/remotefilename .

bbcp.
