Transfer files between 2 sites?

How can I transfer files between 2 sites of mine?

I have a large site and I am trying to transfer files from one hosting to another, is it possible?

 

You are on shared hosting or VPS/Dedicated?

Sites are hosted on 2 different shared hosting.

 

Which control panel you are using?

CPanel

And just because the form doesn't allow me to submit only "Cpanel" I add another CPanel

 

I think you need root acess to transfer files so yeah you have to download manaully from cPanel>Backups>Download full home directory backup

if you access ssh,
First, login server1 and backup site to backup.tar.gz (need ZIP file because maybe too many files) and move to public_html/temp, chmod 644
After that: use PUTTY login ssh server2 and run command: wget http://server1/temp/backup.tar.gz
Finaly use a php script unzip on server2 and move it from /temp to path you want, I dont remember this tool, you can search google keyword: unzip php on server

For backup 100MB by download from server1 to PC and upload into server2 maybe 3 hours but this only spend 15 - 20 minutes. I used once.

 

an app called flashfxp allows site-site transfers if your net connections supports it and if you want the manual way
