From server to server

[Lionel]

I was just wondering if there was an easy way to transfer files from one server to another, without having to download those megabytes and reupload? Perhaps some kind of fopen() and copy?

[AWS]

FTP between the 2 servers would work.

[Lionel]

cool thank you. And how would I do that? One server got ssh, the other one has ftp. I was hoping some telnet connection such as wget but am not to sure how?

wget http://www.domain.com/path/to/file.zip

You can copy using ssh. To copy a file from the client machine to a place on the server running ssh:

scp filename.txt username@domain.com:/path/to/put/file
[Enter password]

To copy a file from the server to the client:

scp username@domain.com:/path/to/file .
[Enter password]

How about if you wanted to move from one datacentre to a new one, transfering all
accounts, files to a brand new server what would be the best way to do this?

[AWS]

Same way would work as long as the old server is online.

I generaly use wget for moving files and databases, abit easier IMO. (as long as its a nix box :))
