Direct FTP transfer from one host to another

[deeplist]

Does anybody know of a ftp client or some software program where I can take the files from one host and move them to another host and keep all the CHMOD settings and everything. Basicly a direct transfer from one host to another? It would be of great help! :)

Well if you use paid hosting you could FXP the files from one server to the other. Free hosts have the feature disabled though.

Or it would be a lot easier if you have shell access.

My host currently has FXP disabled. :( I am really looking for a FTP client.

A different ftp client won't help you out anymore. If you don't have shell access either, then you'll have to download everything and re-upload it.

nm. I have found out how to make a site to site connection using two cuteFTP windows. :D

[Bruce]

That's exactly what FXP is -- a site to site file transfer. :confused2:

share with us... also how would you do it via shell?

There are several ways to transfer files via shell. One is ftp. However, if you just want to transfer several large files from a web accessible location, it's easier to use wget..

> wget http://domain.com/directory/filename.ext

and you can see that sucker fly over fast..

Or for the entire thing:

wget -rl0 ftp://domain.com/
