If you have a high-bandwidth link and are in a hurry, use GridFTP (http://toolkit.globus.org/toolkit/docs/latest-stable/gridftp...), otherwise just use rsync.

Scientific institutions that need to transfer large data sets have fast connections. :) How does 340 Gbps sound? Check out ESnet. http://newscenter.lbl.gov/2014/10/20/does-high-speed-network...

I heard about ESnet while consulting at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
