Can you try scp? Is it one really big file, or is it built up from a
bunch of smaller files that maybe you could use rsync for? That way
it'll move as much of it as it can, if you lose session or network or
something, it starts more or less where it left off.

In other words, what are you actually doing? Is it a big 60GB blob, or
are you making it that way to move it?
