Is there a way to copy server to server using command line ftp or something like it? I am moving servers and I need to copy the entire html directory about 500 megs. I really don't want to have to ftp down to my pc and ftp back up to the new server.
server1 =======
cd /dir/of/html tar cvfz backup.tgz * ftp <server2> login pass put backup.tgz quit
server2 =======
cd /to/where/you/uploaded/the/file mv backup.tgz /dir/of/html/folder tar xvfz backup.tgz
done.
Of course, if both servers were on the same LAN, you could use NFS and mount the two and then just mv the file right into the proper dir, but its your choice. The above is just using standard FTP.
