How much data? What is your network bandwidth? What's "too long"? How fast do you need the data to be copied?
What kind of network and/or storage hardware do you have?
If you're bandwidth limited, the protocol doesn't matter much unless it's really inefficient.
If it's a LOT of data - hundreds of gigabytes or maybe even more - the fastest way is probably to put a new hard drive into the source server, copy the data to the new hard drive and then physically move the hard drive to the target server.
