Best and Fastest Way to big copy files from server to PC

Hey guys,

What's the best and fastest way to copy files from my server to my PC?

I have over 1400+ flash files totaling 1.80+GB and I want to copy all of them to my PC.

I can only think of FTP but was wondering if there's any a best way to do it via SSH or something.

I have root access to the server but I don't know much about SSH commands and all that.

Thanks

 

rsync is good option.

use
rsync -avr --progress -e

 

you can also use SCP using cpanel backup to download to remote host. just specify port, username and passwd of remote server.

 

One way you can do it is login to SSH using the site's username and password, then change to the directory where the files are (cd) and then run the following command:

zip-r files.zip folder/

Code (markup):

this will create a ZIP file which you can download to your computer and unzip. (Note: You can use * instead of folder/ to include all files in the current directory as well)

Hope this helps.
