Hello,

I am not sure whether this is a Cpanel or a RedHat Enterprise 3 problem, but I think this is the forum I am after.

I'm trying to move a large Cpanel account full backup from one server to another. I've tried using the commands wget, ftp, scp, and even tried pulling it the .tar.gz file up through Internet Explorer but it's like it's not there. :o

I can view the file through SSH, but that also gives me a "Value too large for defined data type." Does anyone know what the problem could be? I mean, I'd hate to think I'm this bad when it comes to simple server administration but I'm running out of ideas. :(

Thanks for any help you can lend,

ftp is your best bet. What kind of problem are you having when you do that?

To clarify things, here is what you should do:

SSH into the box that has the file (lets call it example.tar.gz)
'cd' into the directory where it is.
type 'ftp remotehost.com'
enter your username and password for the remote host
type 'bin'
type 'put example.tar.gz'
once transfer is done type 'bye'
you are done

Well I've been having trouble even connecting to either server.

220 ProFTPD 1.2.9 Server (ProFTPD) [myhostname.mydomain.com]
500 AUTH not understood
504 AUTH GSSAPI unsupported
KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type
Name (remote-server-ip:root): root <-- what I entered...
500 AUTH not understood
Login failed.
ftp>
ftp> ls
Not connected.


And that's about it...no matter what I try from there it doesn't work. The last time I switched servers I used ftp to move everything, but now it just gives me frustration. :(

try logging in as a user other than root. By default ProFTPD is going to deny root logging in...

Same result... :/

FTP is unsecure so please don't connect via FTP as root

Instead of typing 'ftp remotehost.com' use '/usr/bin/ftp remotehost.com'

@ Walter - Thanks :)

@ mattwade - That worked! :D

I was told there are problems when transferring files over 2Gb, so I'm crossing my fingers to see if it sends through 100%.
