I personally use rsync over ssh. The exact command I use looks as follows
rsync -e ssh -avz path/of/the/file user@host:path/of/the/file
I find this much useful over scp, sftp, gftp, ftp, konqueror (vertical
split and using sftp protocol). But I suggest you to try each and pick
whichever suits you best.
