If you need to jump through one (or more) proxy servers, OpenSSH v7.3 onward supports a -J.

Considering A → B → C, on hostA, just:

tar cf - file1 file_n | pv | ssh -C -J userB@hostB:portB userB@hostC -p portC 'tar xvf - -C hostC_destination_folder'

• Use as many hops as you want with ssh's -J option.
• Omit the tar's remote -C to leave the files on home folder.
• Send any files at once (text or binary).
• Increase speed by compressing the stream with ssh's -C (or tar's -z). Particularly useful if the data is plain text (uncompressed).
• pv monitor the progress of data through a pipe. An alternative could be progress.
