Cron Job to move files from one server to another - files + db if possible

I've got some files which are uploaded to an FTP server, and I need to transfer them to another FTP server on a regular basis.

I have plesk installed on my server and would like it to do cron jobs and transfer files to another server through ftp. Like 3 days once maybe.

I know it can be done through wget command. But i need it to be automated a little bit.

I also want to know if there is a way to back up databases and send it as well.

I see there is a way though plesk control panel to do it, but i still wish to do it outside plesk in other servers as well

 

If you are looking for scripting solution then you can try ncftp: http://www.ncftp.com/ncftp/
It can upload/download bulk files via ftp automatically, i.e. started from a shell script.
Example:

#!/bin/sh

ncftpput -u myusername -p mypassword -R target-host.com /target/directory/ /source/directory/

Code (markup):

-R means "recursively" i.e. all nested files and directories

More options are described here: http://www.ncftp.com/ncftp/doc/ncftpput.html

 

I will try it and give you the results
