You could put them on an NFS server export that both mount (have to watch for both writing at the same time, so make sure you have file locking considered, unless one is read only). The you're not really copying files, but this may result in other issues. This could be a server C or simply server A running NFS, that is mounted by server B.

rsync would be my choice, as it tunnels over ssh. Also, if the files are not 3GB of new data, then it only copies changes to those files.

It's difficult to give a definitive answer without more information as to the nature of the files and what they are being used for.

       Xfsinfo is a utility for displaying information about an X font server.  It is used to examine the capabilities of a server, the predefined
       values for various parameters used in communicating between clients and the server, and the font catalogues and alternate servers that  are
       available.

              This  option  specifies the X font server to contact.  servername must be specified in one of the formats defined in the Font Server
              Names section of X(7).   If not specified, the server name in the FONTSERVER environment variable is used.

HISTORY

            all
       Number of alternate servers: 2
           #0    hansen:7101
           #1    hansen:7102
       number of extensions:    0

ENVIRONMENT

       FONTSERVER
               To get the default fontserver.  The server name must be specified in one of the formats defined in the Font Server Names section of
