I normally use
rsync -prltvzD user1@host1:dir1 user2@host2:dir2
which copies dir1 on host1 using user1 account into dir2 on host2
using user2 account.
The advantage of rsync is that if the process terminates in between,
you can run the command again and it picks up from where it left. Do
read the man page of rsync or some tutorials on the web before you
start using it. It supports tons of options.
hope that helps
