What is the best method to transfer files from one server to another? - GoFuckYourself.com

charlie g · 09-19-2011, 06:40 PM

Like the thread tittle says. I need to send large files from my server to my customer's server directly. I am not having much luck trying to FTP server to server. Any help???

.

camperjohn64 · 09-19-2011, 06:42 PM

There is a program that does it piecemeal. I forget what it's called though. Basically you put the file in one folder, and it copies it in chunks. This is for large farms though.

If it fails, it re-tries the sections that don't work.

ftp via ssh.

mattz · 09-19-2011, 06:50 PM

I would just use Smart FTP

Nasty · 09-19-2011, 06:50 PM

If you have ssh access to both machines tar them up

tar -pcvzf thefiles.tar.gz *

transfer from your server to his via secure copy command
scp thefiles.tar.gz user@serveraddress:/remote/path/to/place/files/

untar the files (permissions will be intact)
tar -pxvzf thefiles.tar.gz

lots more info on google

What if my customer doesnt have ssh access? I have tried scp but get rejected from their server.

Put them in a public directory and tell the customer to use wget.

Can they use wget without shell access?

Yes wget works great. Get Putty, telnet into the receiving server, then do the command wget www.target.com/files.tar.gz et voila. You will be amazed about the transfer speed between servers :-)

Hold on a sec, I misread what you said. The customer has no access to the commandline on their server?

CYF · 09-19-2011, 08:01 PM

sftp

Yes, the customer does not have shell access.

I have on my server, but the server I want to transfer files to does not. When I try to ssh or telnet the connection gets cut.

interesting how many replies and how helpful people are on very specific topics like technicals topics.. everyone jump in and help.

however when I ask how the fuck do you convert cams, nobody answers...

strange. like people try to show off their ego with technicals-nerdy topics, but when we talk about real business, nobody wants to give their secrets.

lol when you find out let me know. I've never been able to do much with cams.

charlie g · 09-20-2011, 12:12 AM

Thanks uno, I am giving it a try

blogman9 · 09-20-2011, 09:48 AM

What system ?
Linux, mc and ssh.

miguelf · 09-20-2011, 10:56 AM

FTP on both ends.

AdultEUhost · 09-20-2011, 10:58 AM

scp or rsync

EukerVoorn · 09-20-2011, 06:00 PM

Does anyone know of a good server to server back-up tool by the way? cPanel can do this but you can't select the files you want to back-up, it's all or nothing. I need a tool that only synchronizes the directories selected by me.

And I hope you'll sort it out Charlie.

Winner, rsync has better support for interrupted downloads too (AKA resume).

Thanks, I haven't yet. No problems with ssh access enabled servers... but it seems vps transfers will not work.
