Ask your new host, which has already been mentioned... Or transfer them yourself:Originally posted by stocktrader23

Code:oldhost# scp -r -c blowfish directory1 director2 ... username@newhost:/path/to/backup-directory (you need to enter the password for the new host)

All depends on how your servers are set up -
Sometimes it is possible to open 2 ftp clients and simply drag and drop -Comment

If it's a Linux system, just use "wget" command via SSH at new server to make a complete mirror via FTP at old server. Read man for all the options. You can make it with only one wget command if you care to spend 10 minutes to read the manual.Comment

My old host tried to fuck me. But Webair transferred all of my files for me. All I had to do was change the DNSComment

Yes, it can, but this is not what it was meant for. rsync is basically for mirroring on the fly. Like if it's several load balanced servers or just a hot backup. But wget is much easier to understand and it's quite enough for moving files one time.Originally posted by Why
rsync will do it as well i think.

i tried FlashFXP on 6 different hosting company combinations , actually more combinations, to transfer files from Host A to Host B - NONE worked.
gonna go look at SmartFTP but i doubt that will work either.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment
