How to copy folder from one server to remote one using SSH
ok guys. I have a Centos server running a large website I own. Its is severely struggling under the load and I am having to move to a new load balanced setup. The servers are both remote (to me) and although I can do most things admin wise in nix, I am struggling a bit to come up with a way to transfer 4 GB of folders (one main and lots of subfiles and directories.) I was thinking SFTP or FTP but Im not 100% on the command to use. example info/ Server A - (the one with site on) IP 11.222.333.444 Server B - IP 12.222.333.444 For both servers user: root Password: password The directors I want to copy from Server A to server B /var/www/html/site.com/ All help is appreciated  ---------- Post updated at 06:34 PM ---------- Previous update was at 05:07 PM ---------- ok, I am able to connect to the remote machine and used SCP scp /var/www/html/mysite root@server******:/user/folder1 then entered the relevant password. All looked fine but then I am getting this Code:
/var/www/html/mysite: not a regular file What do I need to change to get it to copy the whole directory??????? and all subdirectories and files? thanks edit// SOlved it now. Sorry mods, please close this thread or leave for others who need this info i had forgotten to user the recursive command. (its late!!) Got it copying over now scp -r /var/www/html/mysite root@server1.*******:/tmp/mysite/ Last edited by anderow; 08-24-2009 at 08:39 PM.. |
