a question for server gurus

[latinasojourn]

is this possible?:

let's say i have multiple dedicated boxes at different hosts.

is it possible to remotely transfer data from one server at one host, to another server at a different host using some utilility like ftp?

i'm trying to find a web-based utility that will allow this, and the primary purpose is for redundant backup.

thanks for any advice!

If you have rot access then use:

scp old-server-folder/* [email protected]:/home/new-server-folder

I would tar it first:

tar -cvzf mytar.tar.gz sourcefilesordir/

It needs root password for the new server.

/* means everything in that folder will get moved.

Ftp only can up to 2 gigs at one time so it's no good for you most likely.

Good luck
