best way to move a bunch of files to a new server?
whats the best way to move a bunch of files to a new server if i dont have physical access to it?
like if im moving thousands and thousands of files... FTP seems unrealiable because its breaks or looses connection. Is there a way to check to make sure whats on my system is the exact same on the server? dis shit sux |

Make a tar of everything. Ftp it host-host. Untar it.
Make sure your your new host sets up your account with the same UID/GID and path as on your old host. If they do, you're good to go after you untar it. |

If you don't have any scripts. No need for the path to be the same as on your old host.

if you are doing it yourself use an ftp program called FXftp (sp?) which allows remote server to server transfer.
if your host is doing it tell them to "rsynch" it. |

if you use WHM you can transfer 250 mb and all scripts - no need to reinstall them.
