server to server ftp client? - GoFuckYourself.com

spacedog · 06-05-2006, 06:54 PM

Is there a way to ftp from one server to the next instead of downloading onto local & then ftp back up to next server. I use core ftp, can I do it with this somehow, or do I need to buy another ftp client

Depends on your servers to be honest. If you have shell access it should be easy enough to do.

www.CuteFTP.com also has built-in functions to facilitiate this on compatible servers.

Yep,

You can use "FXP" or more commonly, just login to ssh and ftp from one server to the other like so:

shell> ftp theotherserver.com
user: somebody
password: *******

To learn how to use it, visit the following URL's:

This is a windows example, but the commands are the same.
http://www.tburke.net/info/misc/cmdline-ftp.htm

Heres a good overview:

Note: The ftp client and server programs already exist on your servers.

Also, you could use scp. :-) My personal favorite....

Do it like this:

cd into the directory where your source files are...

cd /home/someshit

then

scp -Cpr * [email protected]:/home/somepath/tosomeshit

the system will ask you for the password to the other box and voila, it copies.

I have that on the new server, but not on the one I want to move off of.

If the versions of mysql are compatible on each server....

you can:
cd /var/lib/mysql

then use that scp command above I showed you and scp it over to the other server in the same place.

On the destination server, first do this:

mv /var/lib/mysql /var/lib/mysql_new_original
that moves the fresh install data out of the way

Next make the directory again:
mkdir /var/lib/mysql

(make sure the permissions are the same as the original mysql directory)

ls -la /var/lib/mysql_new_original will show you the proper permissions.

NOTE: before moving it over...

stop mysql on both servers... typically:
service mysqld stop

SplitInfinity · 06-06-2006, 01:04 AM

Notice: there *are* better ways to do this via mysqldump and etc, but thats beyond the scope of whats easy to explain. ;-)

Simply do it through SSH.

tar cfp - SOURCE_DIRECTORY/ | ssh root@your_ip_address cd /DESTINATION_DIRECTORY/ ; tar xf -

That'll do the current directory, recurrsive, and maintain all permissions.
