    Hi,
    I am changing my webhost , how can i transfer my website files from my previous host to my new host, i got data of about 70 Gb , i tried FXP but it's not working for me, i tried php script to transfer files from one server to another , but still not working for me.
    so i email my webhost company they said:

    "The only way to make connections to external servers using our hosting services is to connect through a proxy server"

    How can i transfer my files from one server to another using proxy server ?

    Please help................ :-(

    Thanks,
    Regards,

    I have the problem alike with the one majestics explained.
    I am also trying to change the webhost and I have the 2 ftp accounts already to connect.
    I need to transfer all the files from one FTP to another with the SAME file permissions.
    I have some files Chmodded to 666, some to 644. And many other custom permissions made. And setting them all over again does not seem possible. Please suggest me a program for me to do this.
    Thanks for your help.

    @majestics : thanks for mentioning FXP. I will try it :)

    1) Tar it
    2) Wget it to new server
    3) Extract it

    Or appoint someone to do it
