Default How to transfer large site?
Hey,

Just purchased a website that has a folder which is nearly a gig. Everytime I try to open it / transfer it with my ftp program, it keeps freezing, is there any other solution?

thanks,
K

If you have shell access you could scp it from one server to another or use rsync ....

Another vote for scp
I'd always use WinSCP, as do a lot of people I imagine

WinSCP :: Download

rsync is here: rsync download
Looks fairly straight forward

rsync is quite easy to use.

thanks so much for the suggestions, I was about to play about with rsync and I downloaded filezilla just to see, problem solved, I don't know how - It is lightning fast and it also appears the large directory has about 162,000 images, gonna be a few hours

If you have SSH access to the server you are moving to, you can login and copy the files directly server to server. Even with FTP, this should be multiples faster than downloading local and back up again.

yes you could.

But then i find it always better to do a local backup as you go anyway..
Best plan of action...
use ftp like filezilla to download/upload the files.
and use shell to restore the database.
