I use tar and ttcp for an initial transfer: On the receiving end: ttcp -l5120 -r | tar xf - On the transmitter: tar cf - . | ttcp -l5120 -t name-of-receiver Note: The files are transmitted without encryption. I easily get 110 Mbytes/sec. on a gigabit connection. If you need encryption, and your transfer is CPU limited, you should investigate which cipher to use. In my case arcfour128 is the fastest, so I use: rsync --rsh='/usr/bin/ssh -c arcfour128' ... after the initial transfer with ttcp.
