Move a site to a new server
Hay all!
I need to move my site to a new server (one with unix installed). I can SSH to this server as a root. On the other one I have a site. I can only FTP to it. So I want to move all folders & files from the old server to the new one without stupid downloading to my PC and then uploading to the server all that stuff. How to do that?

On the server where you have SSH access
Put the website in a tar file: Code:
tar -czvf /tmp/webisteFile.tar /var/www/websiteFolder/ On the server where you have FTP access Upload the websiteFile.tar and the create a php script with the following content: Code:
<?php
system("tar -xf websiteFile.tar");
echo "finished!";
?>
Put this script in the same directory as where you uploaded the tar file, and then execute it by accessing it through the web browser.

Just copy the whole website through FTP, you don't even need to compress especially if your host doesn't support gzip or tar.
FTP the new host We'll take vcoderz as an example Open SSH and type these. 1 - cd /var/www/html/oldwebsite/ 2 - ftp 3 - open vcoderz.com 4 - put username and password 5 - cd /var/www/html/newwebsite/ 6 - prompt (to turn off prompt confirmation for each file transfer) 7 - mget *
