Transfer files from server-to-server via FTP

I have about 200GB of files on a server that I only have FTP access to (normal FTP, not sure about secure or whatever, but just a normal login/password) and another server (shared) that I have cPanel and FTP access to and I want to transfer the files from the first server with FTP-only access to the second server. Is that possible without downloading them all to my computer and then uploading them?

Is there a way for my server to connect via FTP with my login username and password to the other one and transfer the files that way? I know absolutely nothing about the file transfer protocol and I don't know much about servers either, so this might be a stupid question.

Thanks!

 

Yes this is possible if you have SSH access. Do you have that for your server?

 

I'm not sure. I know I don't have any sort of access like that for the server that the files are on right now, but I can do whatever in cPanel and on FTP on the second server.

 

If you have SSH access you can do it using following command:

scp -rp path/to/your/source user@ServerIP:/desitnation/directory/

Also, if you are transferring 200 GB to the shared server then make sure your host is allowing that much data on the shared server.

I don't think its possible without SSH access for a Linux server.

 

It would not be possible without SSH access.

If you have no CPanel or SSH access and only FTP, your only option would be to download public_html files and reupload them. Or ask the host to provide you with a .gzip file to the account so you can restore it using CPanel on the new server.

 

you can do it via WHM panel

 

So my second site can't connect via FTP somehow to the other one?

 

no, it won't.
ask your host to enable ssh on your new server. gzip the old site on the old server and use wget to transfer the files from one server to the new server using ssh.

 

To transfer 200 GB of files you will definitely need SSH access. Ask your service provider for SSH. also making it a gzip is not a good option cause it will take very high load on the server.

 

Is it possible to gzip and use wget on the old server when the only type of access I have is FTP?

 

you can generate a home backup on your old server, it will notify you when its complete. assuming you have cpanel.

using wget is something you would do on the new server, with ssh access.

the answer to your question is no.

 

wget will be used on new server to fetch the data and will be used on your new server, you can ask your host to wget the data for you.
However i am not sure if they will allow 200 GB data on shared hosting.

 

On Shared hosting not possible on both the server to move data of 200 GB, and without SSH or WHM it is IMPOSSIBLE
