Moving server..

[Effective]

Hi.

I want to move a relatively big site to a new server and wanna know if there was a faster way than downloading all the files and uploading them to the new server..? something like remote upload the files to the new server?

use wget/ftp to download/upload files between servers

 

[Rew]

you can tar folders/files and then do wget on new server

or you can do recursively wget if you have directory listing available

wget -r --no-parent http://www.server.com/dir/

it will download all files and directories in /dir/ without including parent direcotries

Use rsync if you have ssh access:

rsync -avrz /directory/to/website/ root@yourserver:/directory/to/new/website/

Can anyone post an expanded explanation ?

Sure, of what exactly?
Do you have ssh access?

Just ask your new host to pull everything to his server

Use RDP.

make the file tar.gz and move the tar file using ftp to other server thats what i do while moving 50gb+ data content site.
