Upload Big Data to a Linux Server

rsync: a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool

e.g transfer directory amwg to a Linux server directory diagpkg_data

rsync -avrP --rsh=ssh amwg guest02@<IP address>:diagpkg_data

explaination
-a, –archive archive mode
This is equivalent to -rlptgoD. It is a quick way of saying you want recursion and want to preserve almost everything (with -H being a notable omission). The only exception to the above equivalence is when –files-from is specified, in which case -r is not implied.
-v, –verbose increase verbosity
-r, –recursive recurse into directories
-P same as –partial –progress
Its purpose is to make it much easier to specify these two options for a long transfer that may be interrupted.
