Sever to Server FTP

I'm sure this is the most basic of questions, but how do I do a sever to server FTP? I have a huge data file on a company's server that I download daily. I want to move a copy daily to my shared host account. I have been downloading the huge file to my local machine, then uploading to the shared host. There has to be an easier way. What is it?

Thanks

 

Obviously there is. You have to log in to one of the servers(which ever gives you telnet/ssh/GUI access - most likely your dedicated server) and initiate the FTP. If you have GUI access(windows) use a FTP client, or (linux) use the FTP commands manually. Doing command line FTP is simple, just a few commands like "ftp", "get" , "put" etc. Google for more details.

- And you can make this automated as well, just a small script and run it as a cron/scheduled task.

 

Thanks... it's good to know it's easy. The problem is that I'm too dense to fully understand... So, please explain like I'm the idiot I am...

1. I want the file to end up on my hostgator server in which I use cpanel. I want to do it via a cron job. What and where do I do the ftp stuff within cpanel?

2. Can you spell out the cron job for me a little better?

Thanks. Sorry to be so dense.

 

Cron Job = Task scheduler

If you want to upload your files to HostGator, why not put an upload script there, and have a PHP script post the file to your upload script (at HostGator) so it can store it?

 

Here is the easy answer

I would try this scripts on my own doing such task, www.lixlpixel.org/php_mirror

 

With SSH WGET you can do it.
