Did you install an ftp program? WHat is your os?

Here is a link to installing vsftp on your vps.

I run ubuntu

u can install wine and use a decent windows ftp client like filezilla...or u can use a cracked verion of smartftp also which is faster in uploading than filezilla

open a command prompt or a terminal window:

install wine and winesetuptk(to configure wine)
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine
sudo apt-get install winesetuptk

after installing wine download filezilla,right click on .exe file select permission nd check the box -Run File as executable and install it as a normal windows App...

Thanks for your reply but like I mentioned above it's a VPS so I can't really right click or open up filezilla.

^^ u can install ubuntu desktop and vncserver so u can use it as a remote desktop
Here are the commands for it...

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 -pixelformat rgb565
sudo nano ~/.vnc/xstartup

Comment "x-window-manager" and add this on the end of file:

gnome-session &

so it will look like this:

#!/bin/sh
 
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#x-window-manager &
gnome-session &

Next, do a reboot. Usually a reboot is not needed, but just to make sure you can do it.

sudo reboot

Start the VNC server:

vncserver :1

That is a lot of overhead for just installing a ftp server. Use this link for install of vsftp for ubuntu.

I'd reccomend you to use Rapidleech, select the file, and choose tha action "FTP" and fill in the details Much easier!

What haseeb221093 said will drastically increase your VPS's load, and RAM usage

use curl system command...

Thanks for your help, but that will eat up my resources.

Thanks for your answer but I need a client not a server? Because I want to upload from my VPS to another server.

I have read that somewhere, but I cannot get rapidleech configured unfortunately :[

use curl system command...

What would be the command?

I need to transfer files from my VPS not to it.

Thanks for all replys guys really appreciate it

it would be easier if you use a wget from the other server to retrieve the files you want and no extra software needed on either machine. Can be done using a cron job if you want or by command line using ssh.

What I've done on my server at home to transfer data from my server is:

Install the Desktop enviroment & software:

apt-get install vnc4server xterm fluxbox firefox filezilla
update-menus
apt-get install xfonts-base xfonts-75dpi xfonts-100dpi

NOTE : U may have to substitute "iceweasel" for "firefox" and can also use "tightvncserver" on some Distro's.

CD to your home directory:

cd ~

--Next we want to configure VNC:

[COLOR=Black]mkdir .vnc [/COLOR]

--Now open the xstartup file and add "fluxbox", without quotes, to the file and save (ctrl + o) and exit (ctrl + x). This will start Fluxbox with VNC.

nano .vnc/xstartup

--Make the xstartup file executable:

chmod  +x .vnc/xstartup

--Now start the vnc4server. The first time u start it, it will ask u to create a password no longer then 8 characters:

vnc4server :1    
 Password:
   Verify:
   view only password:

NOTE: To kill VNC just use this command "vnc4server -kill :1". Never run VNC as root user.


--Now Just Open "VncViewer" on your home computer and type in your "IPAddress:1"and press connect. Then type in your password and bang u are connected to your server using VNC

Using this technique you install the Fluxbox GUI which is very lightweight, and minimal.
