How to fast transfare files from one to another server?

Hi guys, Im wanna to move to new server..and can you tell me which way is fastest to move my files from one server to another?

 

ftp, or the guys at the new server your moving to should be able to do it for you.

 

this is a dedicated server..you mean transfer via FTP via SSH?

 

Yeah, you start up ftp, download the site to your pc, then open ftp with your new server ftp details and upload the site there. If I remember correctly you cant do any databses with ftp, do these manually also.

 

uh..my site have few GB in files I mean if is possible to transfer data via two servers

 

Assuming they are Linux/UNIX servers you could also use rsync to synchronise the required files on your new machine with the old one. It usually takes a bit of tinkering to get it to work just right though, so it's more suitable if you want to back up one machine to the other automatically every week (for example). If you just want to move some files once, your best bet is probably just to archive/compress them with tar, and make them available via FTP or your web server itself to download onto your new machine.

 

You can of course transfer between the 2 servers directly using tools like ftp, wget, rsync. There's no need for data to travel through your own machine, you just need to run the relevant commands on the servers through a command shell or whatever GUI/control panel you use if it supports it.

 

I like rapidleech, allows you to transfer quickly files from server to server.

 

You can also zip up the files on the source server and use http://transloader.com/ to transload the file onto your destination server.

 

Using an ftp program, you can do something called fxp'ing, cant you? where you dont have to download to your pc first then upload to the other.

If their both really fast servers it will be done in no time.
