How to move a site without having to upload everything from HD ?

Bigjohn · 09-18-2004, 12:28 AM

My host moved mine for me. They even helped make sure all of my scripts were running.

Most hosts will do it for you.

If not go into SSH gzip it i believe. Then download then upload to new box then g unzip

anyone knows the FTP commands ?

You might be able to use that flash fxp ftp program to transfer from 1 ftp to the other.

unix commands via SSH you need. Not ftp.

If both severs suport it,

See: theres it looks like a split ftp program in 2...

enter you pass/login on one side and do the same for the other.

log into both sites ... select all the folders and upload.

You still need help? What are the os if you do and I will help.

kenny · 09-18-2004, 12:57 AM

Will that still work if you have like 80 gigs of files to move?

If that's your OS (operating system) yes.

Click on the program to load it up, and follow those steps.

Sure why not? I'll be faster too. (but depends on how fast the upload/download the servers are).

Magg · 09-18-2004, 12:59 AM

Can you estimate how long it will take?

Lets say both servers preform average speed wise

Ill do it for you, hit me up on AIM: NJesterIII

or MSN: [email protected]

easy if you wanna do it yourself, no need to tar the files as SCP has a compression mode that compresses on the sending end and decompresses on the receiveing end....

cd /home/yourdirectory
scp -Cpr * yourusername@yournewhostipordomain:/path/to/destination/directory
Once it starts going, press ctrl-z then type BG to put it in the background that way if you get disconnected from SSH your transfer keeps running on the server even though you have disconnected.

Oh and just in case, if you have not picked a new host yet.... see sig. :-)
