    apps to transfer server to server?

    Are there any drag/drop type apps that can move things between 2 FTP's? I'm not liking the PHP based methods I currently have for something I'm doing right now.

      I'm looking for a simple drag/drop instead of typing in a command 100+ times.

      I know the commands but doing them 1 at a time SUCKS

        If they both use Cpanel, this is an easy task.

        Spend you some brain.

          Can't you create a tarball archive, and transfer it with wget?

            not exactly... lets say 1 of the sites has a directory with 60Gb of already compressed files... Cpanel compresses those files into a single massive file then uncompresses... wastes tons of CPU time.

            Then lets say there's some other sites/folders with tons of Gb's of video files.

            Moving servers with hundreds of sites and an insane amount of Video files and other things already compressed the cpanel method simply won't work.

                wastes too much CPU, we're talking around 800Gb of data spread across a ton of sites... NO not just a shitload of tubes LOL I have some OLD archives of mainstream stuff that take up well over 100Gb of data which I'm also sending to a DIFFERENT server.

                Basically I'm dumping old sites that I don't give a shit about that take a ton of storage onto a shitty server all while moving my important stuff to a cheaper server than my current box.
