Hi, In the near future I will have to make a transfer of files onto my server. So, the problem lies here, my upload speed is 25KBps and all the files I need to upload to my server are about 50GB. (Those files lie on many servers on the internet and can be downloaded freely). Now, with my upload speed it would take app. 277 hours and that is somewhat too much for me, as I would need those files on the server ASAP. So what I want to know, is there a way to download files directly from one server to another, instead of downloading from a server to my pc, and then uploading from pc to my server?
Maybe this might help you: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2007/04/03/how-to-do-a-server-to-server-file-transfer/ Haven't tried it out myself so can;t really say much about it.
It depends what access you have to the 2 servers. It's certainly possible if you have ssh access (to at least one of them) Check out the rsync and wget commands. Either you could use in different circumstances.
Thanks! The servers are dedicated and will have SSH access. Now, I will look up this "rsync" and "wget" commands to get familiar with them.
Cool. If you've got ssh access to both then I'd look at rsync. It will allow you to restart the transfer should it get interrupted for any reason. Also, it runs over ssh so is secure.
Oh my god do you have ssh access and u dont know how to transfer files between two machines connected to internet?
LOL. I don't have it now, but will soon I never worked with dedicated servers so this question just popped on my mind the otherday, and had to post it here to get things straight.
I suggest to use rsync. Just follow the below steps: - Create a key on new server and save this key on old server and then use following command: /root/kailash/ssh_key = Path of key file of new server on old server 2222 = Replace this with port which you are using for SSH on remote server /backups = Replace with folder which you want to move to new server REMOTE_USER = SSH user of your new server IP_ADDRESS = New server IP address /home/newlocation/ = Where you want to move data
there is a script called rapidleech out there... if you dont know how to use wget then this might be suitable for you..
May #scp help you in this case. http://sshcmd.com/docs/2009/04/13/cpanel-manualy-backup-and-transfer-an-account-via-ssh/
