SCP or secure file copy is a great way to copy files through an encrypted tunnel, but it will take up all of the bandwidth available to it, but there is a flag to limit the bandwidth used. Try this:

scp -l 125 /Users/Myaccount/testfile remotehost:

the -l option is measured in bits rather than bytes, so adjust accordingly.
