We want to know if there are VPN tunnels or any other constriction points between the host you send from and the host that reveives.

Otherwise - compress the file first, then send it, decompress on the other side.

Code:

gzip -9 bigfile
sftp myname@remotenode << EOF
put bigfile.gz
exit
ssh myname@remotenode "gunzip bigfile.gz"
