Hi,

If your servers, ser-A & ser-B were linked by public key authentication means, you can transfer the files between ser-A & ser-B using "sftp" command. If the public key authentication is not enabled between these 2 servers means, you can use "ftp" to transfer the files.

sftp does not require user_id & password, but ftp requires both.
