I’ve used various tools for that, they kinda all work. A Windows network share, or just type in “ssh://user@IP” into the Nautilus file explorer and drag and drop. You can bookmark the address so you don’t need to type it in the next time. If you do it on a regular basis you can alternatively configure a NFS share and the other computer’s filesystem will look just like any other directory and you can copy files as usual. If you want to transfer terabytes of files or they’re millions of small files and you want nice error messages and continuation if something goes wrong, it will be worth doing it with rsync. But you need to look up the parameters (or use a helper), there’s a bunch or arguments needed to make it do the right thing.
In any case it should transfer roughly 4GB per minute if you have a Gigabit network. I’d say ~250GB per hour. Maybe a bit more or less. But all methods will do it at the same speed unless you tweak it, change compression on transfer…
