custangro, I'm not sure that would be any faster than an actual "scp -r", and it requires storage for files.tar at both ends. But, that IS the way to do it if you need to preserve permissions/ownership at both ends.

masonm: I'm too poor to own a 3GB flash drive. :)

Thank you all so much for great advice.

Just curious, will the USB keep my file intact? what is the difference between the format on USB and the format on a hard drive?

The command
scp -r username@<remote machineIP>:/home/username/remotefile . should work. I just tested it between two of my own machines just to double check that I had the syntax correct.
