Transferring a backup from server to server?

I have a backup at bqbackup and I need to get it to my dedicated server. The file size is 5GB, this is why I need to do server to server transfer. Here is what I've tried so far and it hasn't worked.

1. Login to my SSH via putty.
2. Then changed to the backup directory (/cpbackup/daily).
3. Typed: ftp myaccount.bqbackup.com.
4. Entered my bqbackup account username and password when prompted.
6. Changed to the directory where the backup is.
7. Type: get mybackup/(full filename).
8. Wait for around an hour each time and it fails.

Code (markup):

Putty gives me this messge after about 3295.1 MB have been transferred.

426 Failure writing network stream.

I could really use some help/advice here.

 

Use rsync on your server to pull the file from the backup server.

Use the --progress flag and you'll even see the progress in real time.

An example of such a command on your server would be:

 

Are you using any other kind of control panel?

 

I finally figured out why it would stop. I had other older backups on the disk and there was not enough space.
