site to site transfer
 

Hey guys , i need to transfer big folder from one of my servers to the other one,
any ideas on how i can do it?
i tried flashfxp but it doesnt transfer anything :-s
any help is greatly appreciated

tar it up

rsynch ....

i have no clue how to use those binary codes, any software that might do it? or any commands in linux to do it?
thanks in advance.

you'll need to be more specific about what OS it is and such..


personally i'd tar it up and use the scp command.

it works like this


scp <filename> <ip>:<location>

for example if your tar file was called foo.tar and the server ip your trying to copy to was 1.2.3.4 and you wanted it in the /home dir it would look something like

scp foo.tar 1.2.3.4:/home

it would ask for the login and pass, type that in and u should be good.. hope it helps ;)

or you could just enable fxp and do it through ftp

FlashFXP can do it, but your servers have to support a specific FTP protocol that allows transfers from server to server. I'm forgetting the name of the protocol though.

That would be FXP :thumbsup

yup this works like a charm, thats how we copy htpasswd files from one to another server, gotta authenticate though (l/p)
