How to move a site to another server?

I have around 200 GB I need to move to another server.

I know cuteFTP pro can make a site-to-site transfer but only with a few supported ftp server programs.

Any other methods?

you need to do it via ssh more or less like this

login to the shell
compress the directories using tar and gzip
then split the tarball
and use wget to transfer it server to server

you could get it done within a few hours if your servers are uncapped

200 gigs with cuteftp might take forever

you can use netcat or ttcp.


tar -cpvf - * | nc ipofyournewserver 5000
nc -l -p 5000 | tar -xpvf -

yet another option: scp. if you have ssh on both servers

on the destination server
scp -rp [email protected]:from todir

depending on the network you may or may not want to consider getting the drive physically replicated ;)

When I move servers I always get the new host to copy it over, may be worth a go?

I already started using the above method. The ETA is around 4-5 hours. I think that is very reasonable.

That's about right.
