Doing a server to server file transfer


tibberous

Recommended Posts

I have two server. I am trying to copy all the files from one to the other. The problem is that there is 80gig to be copied - so I would like to send it from server to server without downloading and the uploading it again.

 

Is there some way I can use ftp or mget or get or wget or something to move the files faster?

 

Thanks

try this on the newserver, it should pull all the file from the old one

 

<?php

$RemoteHost = "123.123.123.123";
$RemotePort = 21;
$RemoteUser = "root";
$RemotePass = "pass";

// this is the root path for the remote server
$rootpath = "public_html";

// this is the physical path of the source directory. actually u can also use the relative path. 
$sourcepath = realpath("../")."/newsite";

// this directory name will only change the top most directory and not the inner one 
$destination_dir_name = "server_account_id/";


// make a FTP connection 
$con = ftp_connect($RemoteHost,$RemotePort);
$login_result = ftp_login($con,$RemoteUser,$RemotePass);   

rec_copy ($sourcepath, $destination_dir_name, $con);
if (function_exists("ftp_close"))
{
    ftp_close($con);
}


function rec_copy ($source_path, $destination_path, $con)
{
    ftp_mkdir($con, $destination_path);
    ftp_site($con, 'CHMOD 0777 '.$destination_path);
    ftp_chdir($con,$destination_path);

    if (is_dir($source_path))
    {
        chdir($source_path);
        $handle=opendir('.');
        while (($file = readdir($handle))!==false)
        {
            if (($file != ".") && ($file != ".."))
            {
                if (is_dir($file))
                {
                    // here i am restricting the folder name 'propertyimages' from being copied to remote server. 
                    if($file != "propertyimages")
                    {
                        rec_copy ($source_path."/".$file, $file, $con);
                        chdir($source_path);
                        ftp_cdup($con);
                    }
                }
                if (is_file($file))
                {
                    $fp = fopen($file,"r");
                    // this will convert spaces to '_' so that it will not throw error.  
                    ftp_fput ($con, str_replace(" ", "_", $file), $fp,FTP_BINARY);
                    ftp_site($con, 'CHMOD 0755 '.str_replace(" ", "_", $file));
                }
            }
        }
        closedir($handle);
    }
}

?>
