The Galileo Spacecraft was launched October 18th, 1989, and entered the orbit of Jupiter December 7th, 1995. The total trip time was reduced by gravity slingshots past Venus and Earth, making the total trip time a little over six years.

How long it takes to go from Eartt to Jupiter depends on where the two planets are when you start out, how much acceleration you can create and what orbital path you choose to follow.

Even on a straight line, Jupiter is at least 590 million kilometers from Earth and could be as far as 966 million kilometers, and you cannot travel on a straight line between the two.

For example, it would take at least 2 and a half years to reach Jupiter with a space shuttle at its orbital speed of 17,500 mph.
