    FTP Transfer in PuTTy

    I am trying to transfer a 1.1GB file from one of my servers to one of my servers in another data center.

    What command would I use inside PuTTy to transfer the file via FTP, not SFTP.

    Thanks!

    What's wrong with scp? (assuming you have an account on each server)

    On destination server, in destination directory:

    scp foo@bar.server.com:/path/to/big/file .

    Easiest is SFTP if you have SSH access. FTP would work the same but an example....:

    Say your filename is kevin.txt. Now..go to the directory of the file...
    Example:
    Code:
    kevin@solaptop:~$ sftp admin@fakeserver.com
    Connecting to fakeserver.com...
    Password: 
    sftp> put kevin.txt
    Uploading test to /usr/home/admin/kevin.txt
    kevin.txt                                                                                       100%    0     0.0KB/s   00:00    
    sftp>
    Best of luck!

    AHN-Jay, If you want to transfer a file to another server using FTP, use the ftp command:

    PHP Code:
    ftp my-server.com
    Connected to my
    -server.com (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).
    220---------- Welcome to Pure-FTPd [TLS] ----------
    220-You are user number 1 of 50 allowed.
    220-Local time is now 23:59. Server port21.
    220 You will be disconnected after 15 minutes of inactivity
    .
    Name (my-server.com:user): my_username
    331 User my_username OK
    Password required
    Password
    :
    230-User my_username has group access to:  my_username
    230 OK
    Current restricted directory is /
    Remote system type is UNIX.
    Using binary mode to transfer files.

    rsync -avz e -ssh /local/path/file remotehost.com:/remote/path/file

    Fast, easy. I do it daily.
