Transferring files from server a to b?

Hey, I need to move a site from a server, I have 1gb of files in a folder and don't want to have to download them then upload them.

Can I use a command via SSH or .. how can I do it fast and effectively?

 

wget or

scp -r * root@ip:/home/

 

Can I get some more details instructions please, the folders need to be transferred from public_html/files and public_html/thumbnails to the same folders on a different server.

Thanks

 

A proggie called Flash FXP will allow you to transfer between server, but i think fxp has to be enabled on both.

 

Is this on a shared account or do you have WHM?

 

Shared accounts

 

But you just want to transfer from server to server, not to download it first, right ? You have the backup utility in cPanel for that.

 

I am wanting to do this same thing on Plesk...

 

I want transfer to different servers, but the accounts are shared, I don't have whm access.

 

Ask your new webhost to do it. Thats what i used to do.

 

rsync or scp is the way

 

you can use cpanel to move your files as an alternative (if you have root account on the server)

 

Login to your cPanel on first server. Go to backups and generate a full backup.

Ask your new host to restore the account and give him the cPanel backup or cPanel access.

They'll do it for you.

 

He said he had Plesk, is it possible there also ?

 

tarball the entire directory you want, make it web accessible, then
wget "http://www.domain.com/file.gz"

via SSH on the new server, then untar it...Will compact it, and will transfer at a higher speed as it's between two fast connections, and you're not playing the middle man.

 

better would be u should ask ur new host to do it for u they will do it easily....

or u can do like
first tar tht folder or file by command
tar -cvf filename.tar
then copy it to ur server with wget command
wget http://www.ursite.com/filename.tar

now extract it with this command
tar -xvf filename.tar

U must have SSH access

 

If you need help i can do it for you

 

He already said he doesnt has ssh access.
