Quickest way to transfer files - VPS > KimSufi

Compress into a TAR.GZ, then download that zip, upload it to the dedi, then uncompress.
Thats what I do.

 

Try rsync. Pretty easy

 

As above, use rsync, it's very simple to use. Either that, or FTP the files between each server.

 

rsync -za source destination
Would be the easiest. I'd recommend tar'ing the folder you want transferred, pipe it to gzip, pipe that to ssh which pipes the gzip'ed data to a decompressor.

 

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) get file zilla is what i use and i just drag the files onto the dedi, i believe this is the fastest way.

 

Pls use sftp and not ftp

 

That, or scp. Whichever floats your boat.

Why pipe it when you can just tar -zcvf it?

 

But this removes a middle-man! Here's what I mean:

Code (Text):

tar cf - <dir> | ssh -C [email protected] "cd /output; tar xvf -"

(no gzip as ssh's -C[ompression] flag is more efficient for this scenario)

 

tar -cvzf NAME.tar.gz /home

scp NAME.tar.gz [email protected]:/root

tar -zxvf NAME.tar.gz
