Transfering files from one host to another?
 

Is there an easy way to do this? I gotta back up these sites on a host that went to shit recently. Thanks.

Anyone?

ask your new host

Ask your new host, which has already been mentioned... Or transfer them yourself:

To save bandwidth:

We'll transfer all your files for you. Hang on, I'll have an account setup ASAP... we can move you today.

try flashfxp you can just ftp it from site to site.

Theres your best solution right there.
You can't TOUCH phatservers for customer service or tech support. :thumbsup

I know this mang. :)

did you just read my mind ?

I think smartftp allows you to do it too and it's free.

All depends on how your servers are set up -
Sometimes it is possible to open 2 ftp clients and simply drag and drop -

AND YOU KNOW THIS......


MAN.

Try super Ftp
Or you can do them from cpanel if both servers have cpanel or SSH .

If it's a Linux system, just use "wget" command via SSH at new server to make a complete mirror via FTP at old server. Read man for all the options. You can make it with only one wget command if you care to spend 10 minutes to read the manual.

I'm hurt.

ICQ me :)

get your new host to do this for you, if they won't help then get one that will.....like chilihost !


cheers,

Luke

your new host can do it for you

We'll do it for you just contact [email protected]

My old host tried to fuck me. But Webair transferred all of my files for me. All I had to do was change the DNS

On the destination machine, use:

ttcp -r | tar xvpf -

and on the source machine (ip = destination machine):

tar cf - move_this_folder | ttcp -t 64.237.55.56



nice & easy... :thumbsup

rsync will do it as well i think.

otherwise id hit sly, hes a good guy.

wget :thumbsup

Yes, it can, but this is not what it was meant for. rsync is basically for mirroring on the fly. Like if it's several load balanced servers or just a hot backup. But wget is much easier to understand and it's quite enough for moving files one time.

i tried FlashFXP on 6 different hosting company combinations , actually more combinations, to transfer files from Host A to Host B - NONE worked.

gonna go look at SmartFTP but i doubt that will work either.
