Maybe some of you can help.

Im looking for something where i can transfer files server to server.

Instead of FTping down and uploading locally, setting up peramitors to take http files from one box and send them to another.

If this isnt out tell me what needs to be done to get it out.

So

Server to Server transfering

Why not

1) telnet into server 1
2) tar the directory
3) always in telnet, ftp server2
4) put file.tar
5) exit ftp and telnet server2
6) untar file.tar and you're done.

You can also use FlashFXP (http://www.flashfxp.com).

Good luck :)

I am not guru at this stuff but I heard you can open FTP connection via SSH/Telnet from server to server.

There is also a shareware or free program out there for windows called FTP Dup. I downloaded it, looks really simple, just adding in the two servers, users and passwords, and pushing a button, but havnt used it so I cant really tell you if its any good or not, cant remember where I downloaded it either, probably cnet or tucows...

I have seen a Perl script to do this called Sidelkoad I believe. Try www.ericscgi.com.

Hi Joe

just use SCP

scp file XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:/destinationfolder (XXX= destination IP)

or

scp directory XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:/destinationfolder -r

As already stated, SCP is "the right solution" if you only need to transfer everything once. If you're dealing with a problem of mirroring -- that is, keeping an up-to-date copy of everything -- you should probably use rdist over an SSH tunnel (that way only the changes will get sent each time instead of the entire site).
