just a thought ... what exactly is the firewall doing in between these 2 machines? is the firewall still required? if yes, putting in a direct connection for use with rcp may negate the firewall.
btw, how big are the files? would they fit on a dvd or a usb drive? just wondering if sneakernet would be faster ...

APF(1) General Commands Manual APF(1)
NAME
apf - easy iptables based firewall system
SYNOPSIS
apf
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the apf command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program
does not have a manual page.
Advanced Policy Firewall (APF) is an iptables (netfilter) based firewall system designed around the essential needs of today's Internet
deployed servers and the unique needs of custom deployed Linux installations. The configuration of APF is designed to be very informative
and present the user with an easy to follow process, from top to bottom of the configuration file. The management of APF on a day-to-day
basis is conducted from the command line with the 'apf' command, which includes detailed usage information and all the features one would
expect from a current and forward thinking firewall solution.
OPTIONS

-s|--start

-r|--restart
stop (flush) & reload firewall rules
-l|--list
list all firewall rules
-t|--status

-e|--refresh

-d <HOST CMT|--deny <HOST COMMENT>

-u <HOST>|--remove <HOST>
