Ok, when it comes time to move all your crap on all your domains from one machine to another, isn't there a better way than ftp? Maybe an ethernet ftp? Or an ftp client that runs on the machine that's being transferred TO via cgi?

I'm on a sat connection (yeah, way out in the middle of freakin nowhere). My download speeds are decent (actually, better than when I had cable and dsl). But uploading is a bitch at 3-4 kbs.

Is there any sort of application out there that I can install on the new machine which will ftp the files from the old machine directly instead of having to bring it all to my local machine first?

Why can't you set up an ftp connection between the old and new machines? FTP server on one, client on the other (doesn't really matter which one), and away you go...

You can also try FXP'ing:

flashfxp or ssh with wget :)

to be able to use transfer-servers-to-servers you need to tweak proftpd server first :)

... or RSYNC:

rsync -avz -e ssh /source/file username@remote-host.com:/destination/folder

I would use rsync myself. It works really well, and you can make it work over SSH, so it's secure.
