You can use wondershaper to throttle the speed, but that will affect
everything on the interface so it may not be a good solution. Using
rsync over ssh as Ben suggested is a very good idea if it's possible.
You specifically mention FTP. does that imply that it has to be done
over FTP?

I've got a few large files (backups) that I want to upload offsite. I

Then the idea came up yesterday of feeding the files a portion at a time
to their destination. If it takes 15 hours - who cares...

That's the general idea anyways...

Is there something out there that will do that?
