Moving files to new server

[hedgehog]

Hi,

I need to move a customer\'s account from another hosting provider to my server.

Is there a way to transfer all the files in one go?

Searching on the net I found some information about rcp but it seems the old host does not allow this command. And have pulled most of my hair off trying to make FTP transfer in a recursive way...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Hedgy

Does your hosting provider allow scp?
If so, the syntax is:
scp -r file 123.456.789.000:/directory/

Where 123.456.789.000 is the IP address of the new server.
