split the files into smaler files (1GB e.g.)
i would create a new screen session on server and run the command in there (so you can logoff/close terminal and it will continue)
screen -S split # create new screen session with name split # split the files into 1GB chunks gzip -c LARGEBACKUP.file | split --suffix-length=5 -b 1073741824 - LARGEBACKUP.file.split.gz # generate md5sum to check if transfered files were ok (will also be transfered) md5sum *.file.split.gz > md5sums.txt # you can have both in one go:
gzip -c LARGEBACKUP.file | split --suffix-length=5 -b 1073741824 - LARGEBACKUP.file.split.gz; md5sum *.file.split.gz > md5sums.txt;
