Your institute may have set up some sort of scheme that won't let you
transfer big files. But I am unawhere of any such limit in ftp or
sftp.

There probably is, but the r-series of commands are genearlly viewed
as security risks. If you want to transfer a lot of data in a hurry,
like a whole directory structure, give 'rsync' a try. It's very fast,
probably fastrer than ftp.
