Iperf is only memory to memory (no file transfer capabilities). Fot file transfer applications see bbftp (http://doc.in2p3.fr/bbftp/), bbcp (http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~abh/bbcp/) or GridFTP (http://www-fp.globus.org/datagrid/gridftp.html). All three of these have similar capabilities to iperf (settable windows, multi streams, etc.)
Doesn't the Iperf option -F do some of what the OP wants?
$ iperf -c <server address> -F <file-name>
Might be used to optimise a particular file transfer across a link,
although I see no way to save it at the other end.
Just a thought,
