How to quickly transfer files to another hosting?
Guys, there are 100GB of pictures on one server, you need the faster the better to move to another server.
All access via SSH is available, the question is how or the faster to move the entire amount of files?
The files are also on the PC.
Archiving them, I think, is not an option (archiving will take a long time to go as soon as possible, and is it worth it)? There are about 100-150k images

It makes sense to archive - it is the combination of many files into one.
Usually, tar is used for this - an uncompressed archiver.
You can also combine files into one archive on the fly and transfer it to another server for unpacking without writing it to disk.

rsync will make it faster than anyone else, since pictures in jeeps do not shrink
Usually the pictures are already compressed (unless it's bmp), and there is no particular profit in archiving.
I think the most common tool for this purpose is rsync.
- can transfer from one host to another
- can continue from the middle if the connection is broken
- if the first server is dead, you can continue to download from your home PC
