My MacBook has about 400GB of files (videos, music, documents, etc.) that I need to transfer to a Windows PC over my local network. My router is semi-disfunctional, though, so every so often it stops working and I have to unplug it and plug it back in.

How can I copy the files so that the transfer will resume after the network connection has been reestablished? Will FTP/SSH/SMB work, if I have the right type of client? It would also be nice if I could resume the transfer when I reboot one of the machines while I'm transferring, too.

You want rsync over SSH. Look at using --partial.
