I have SSH enabled on my account but i'm new to it. I was told that wit SSH i could transfer from another ftp to my TCH account. I've looked around for tutorials and such and i came across one. I tried one. <br /><br />scp user@anotherftpip:/directroy/file.zip localhost:/directory/file.zip<br /><br />It then asked me for anotherftpip's password: i tried to enter it but the cursor wouldnt' move so i entered what it should have been and pressed enter. It failed i tried a bunch of other things but it didn't work.<br /><br />Does anyone know of any tutorials i could read on the matter?<br />I tried askin helpdesk but all they said was they don't help with that <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="

open 2 SSH shells, 1 for your old host, 1 for TCH. first you will have to tar the files on the old server.<br /><br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->> cd public_html/<br />> tar -cvf mywebsitearchive.tar *<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />then, while logged into TCH SSH, you need to do the following:<br /><br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->> cd public_html/<br />> ftp your.old.webserver.com<br />Connected to your.old.webserver.com (111.222.333.444).<br />Name (your.old.webserver.com:TCHusername): here_put_your_old_username<br />Password: here_put_your_old_password<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />you now have an ftp connection to your old remote site. then all you need to do is do this:<br /><br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->ftp> cd public_html/<br />ftp> binary<br />ftp> get mywebsitearchive.tar <br />ftp> bye<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />and it will put the file in your directory on TCH from where you called the ftp program - now back to the TCH server.<br /><br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->> ls -lrt<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />and you will see the tar file. untar it <br /><br /><!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->>tar -xvf mywebsitearchive.tar<!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br /><br />and you should be good to go. <br /><br />hope that helps,<br /><br />chuck<!--content-->
