How about splitting it into pieces and transfer it piece by piece, that way you won't worry about your connection getting cut off all of a sudden. Then after you have transferred all the pieces, just put it back all together again.
Here's an example
You have a large file about 100mb that needs to be transferred to the other side of the globe
let's split it into 15m each until the size is consumed, by default the prefix of the file is x followed by some letters
to make the file pieces more descriptive let's specify a prefix
we can have numeric suffixes too
to restore the file, we use cat for this job
simple and easy :)
