Copying a VMDK

Hi there, does anyone know a faster way to copy a large VMDK out of a datastore, other than copying out of the web browser GUI?

I tried copying a 415GB VMDK out of our ESX 6.0 environment this way and it took around 4 hours to complete copying 70GB which is painfully slow... !  

I've also tried using other tools like VEEAM fast SCP and WINSCP which keep getting blocked.

If anyone knows a quicker way and has done this before, please share ! 

Thanks in advance !
