    Transfering files from one host to another?

    Is there an easy way to do this? I gotta back up these sites on a host that went to shit recently. Thanks.

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

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

          To save bandwidth:

          Code:
          oldhost# tar -zcf - directory1 directory2 ... | ssh username@newhost "( cd ~/path/to/backup-dir && tar -zxf - )"
          (need the password here as well..)

                      I think smartftp allows you to do it too and it's free.

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

                            Try super Ftp
                            Or you can do them from cpanel if both servers have cpanel or SSH .

                              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.

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

                                          On the destination machine, use:

                                          ttcp -r | tar xvpf -

                                          and on the source machine (ip = destination machine):

                                          tar cf - move_this_folder | ttcp -t 64.237.55.56

                                            rsync will do it as well i think.

                                            otherwise id hit sly, hes a good guy.

                                                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.

                                                  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!
