Hi Razib,

Do you have root access on both servers?

 

If this is UNix/Linux, you can just tar all the files you want then scp -p overnight to the other box, then untar everything there

 

yes i have root access on both servers. r there any soft that can direct upload files on my new server without downloading on my pc , I mean directly.

or any other easy way

 

Hi Razib,

There are many software you can use: sftp, scp (like Genius mentioned), rsync; these should already have installed in your servers.

There is no need to download to your computer then re-upload, it will be very time consuming. You can ssh to the servers and capture the data from there directly using one of the software above.

If you have many folders and files, you can follow Genius's advice, tar them all into one tar file => use scp to transfer it to the new server.

Here is a simple instruction:

1. First tar everything
2. SCP command, you execute this in your new server:

cd /home
scp root@old_ser_ipath_to_the_file_on_old_server


If you have big files in just one or a few folders, you can just follow and use scp or I would recommend to use sftp:

in your new server
cd /home/
sftp oldserverip
cd /path/to/files
get *


Manipulate the commands as you see fit. I hope you find this helpful.

 

Part of the scp command got converted into a smiley. Here it is again:

cd /home
scp root@old_server_ip:path_to_the_file_on_old_server

You can do this in php using a script called rapileech
