RE: Large volume file move

I assume WinSCP is a Windows scp utility. Is there any benefit to having Windows drive this?

I've switched to WinSCP from FileZilla. Easier, faster, and less error prone. But the speed of the transfer is more than likely going to be a function of the software that moves it.

I might suggest if you use NSF that you first create all the directory structure. Then build a script to start with the folder at the bottom of the list and start moving up the structure moving several folders at once.
That way you'll move as much as possible, restart is easy and you can monitor progress.

Both WinSCP and FileZilla will approximate that function for you.
