Moving Server: 4Gb cpmove file

[Jason Brice]

Hi,

I'm movig a very large site onto a new server, and I have tried moving the manually created 4Gb cpmove-user.tar.gz file using wget. I get this response:

root@newserver [/backup/cpbackup/daily]# wget http://www.domain.com/cpmove-sbc.tar.gz
--18:39:59--  http://www.domain.com/cpmove-user.tar.gz
           => `cpmove-user.tar.gz'
Resolving www.domain.com... XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Connecting to www.domain.com|XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX|:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden
18:39:59 ERROR 403: Forbidden.

when I use ftp from shell I get this:

ftp> get cpmove-user.tar.gz
local: cpmove-user.tar.gz remote: cpmove-user.tar.gz
227 Entering Passive Mode (XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,252)
550 Can't open cpmove-user.tar.gz: File too large
ftp>

What should I use to move the file across?

Thanks!

SCP is great for moving large files over. I have used it to transfer about 10GB accounts over.

Thanks, though I'm having trouble with the synrax...

# scp user.tar.gz user@domain.com:/home/user/user.tar.gz

Where do I put the port number of the recipient server?

if I remember correctly, using your example above, it would be:

#scp -p 4000 user.tar.gz user@domain.com:/home/user/

if I remember correctly, using your example above, it would be:

#scp -p 4000 user.tar.gz user@domain.com:/home/user/

Actually, it's -P not -p for scp, so the command should be:

#scp -P 4000 user.tar.gz user@domain.com:/home/user/

thanks for catching that one ... yep .. scp port numbers arguement uses a capitalized P !

my laziness typing all lower got the worst of me.

Hello,

When i try to move large file many time it fails completing due to network problem or pc is there any way that i can run scp in background so it will keep running even if my local network fails or pc dies.

Any suggestion will be great.
