HELP: Need to FTP transfer from Server A to Server B - GoFuckYourself.com

TheFLY · 04-13-2002, 02:56 PM

I'm transfering some files from one host to another -- I know there is a program out there that allows you to log into two FTP servers and start a transfer but I forgot the name of the program...

Or maybe I should just use FTP from the shell of one of my hosts...? Suggestions appreciated...

there you go.

open both hosts in two separate windows and drag and drop

cureftp is the fastest most easy we have found... open one ftp server and then spawn a new window and go into the second... highlight what you want moved and drag and drop.

Oh yeah... after getting the first window-server open use the top command bar to spawn the new window

commands =>

session =>

spawn new session =>

ssh to server A and ftp to server B from there. transfer whatever you want

TheFLY · 04-13-2002, 04:19 PM

hmm i'm working on ftp from ssh...

i do mput ./*

that kept prompting me... (transfer the file?)

so I type "prompt" -- that worked -- but now it's only transfering one dir at a time...

maybe "man ftp" will give me info because "help mput" just says "send multiple files" haha...

TheFLY · 04-13-2002, 04:24 PM

shit the FTP docs say I need to create a tar archive first to do a directory tree...

First, cd to folder you want to tar up. The following will tar everything in the folder, plus any subfolders. So if you want to tar up all the files in your httpdocs folder (index.html, etc.), plus the subfolders inside httpdocs, then you'd:

log into the old server (root)
cd /path/to/httpdocs
tar cvf younamethe.tar *
gzip younamethe.tar

log into the new server (root)
cd /path/to/where/you/want/all/files/to/be
ftp oldserver.com
(enter FTP username and pass on old server for this site)
cd /path/to/httpdocs
get younamethe.tar.gz
quit

You're now out of FTP and disconnected and in the directory /path/to/where/you/want/all/files/to/be and the file is where it should be, next step is...

gzip -d younamethe.tar.gz
tar xvf younamethe.tar

You now have all the files where they should be and you can...

rm younamethe.tar
y

-and you're good to go!

Not having tried the others, I can at least affirm that this one does it. Sometimes the security settings on one or the other server (or perhaps in the program's preferences itself) will stop you, but I've done direct server-server transfers, and they are really cool.

TheFLY · 04-13-2002, 04:49 PM

thanks (http) you da man -- that is what I needed... I'm really a DOS person for 15+ years -- the whole tar gzip thing still eludes me --

pkzip -r blah.zip *.*
pkunzip -d blah.zip

seems so much easier than...

tar cvf younamethe.tar *
gzip younamethe.tar

gzip -d younamethe.tar.gz
tar xvf younamethe.tar

Don't you think.......? hehe

heh start ftp -i to transfer files without too much prompting

but anyway i would better tar and gzip stuff first ... before transferring

TheFLY · 04-13-2002, 06:37 PM

tar cvf younamethe.tar *
gzip younamethe.tar

hmm I think if anyone reads this they should use
tar's -p switch to preserve permissions for your scripts... and
maybe "--same-owner" too...

?
