Transfer Files from one LAMP Machine to Another
I have two LAMP server and I need to transfer a whole directory structure from Machine A to Machine B.
I have telnet root access to both machines.
For most projects I'm working on I just use FTP and download files to my local drive and then upload to the new server via FTP.
But this particular application has nearly 25GB of files to transfer and I would like to simply go straight from server to server.
Is there a simple way to do that from from within the shell access?

Depending the server setup you may be able to do a server to server transfer in your FTP program
tar just packs the files into one file that you can then untar when transferred - easier than copying each file individually.
tar -zcvf target_name.tar.gz folder_to_tar

Also, if you have a web server running on the first machine, you can place the .tar in a web directory and use wget from the new machine to download.
wget http://first.machine.com/directory/file.tar.gz
It will be downloaded to the directory from which you issue the command.
wget http://first.machine.com/directory/file.tar.gz
It will be downloaded to the directory from which you issue the command.
You just repeated exactly what I said.
Oops. Didn't see that Gary, my apologies.
Oh, I see, I saw his request for how go use wget. That's more of the lines of what I was answering. The actual command, which OP asked. I think after that was where you addressed the ftp how-to, and actual unzipping.

Can you give me a sample of how those commands would work?
I'm only moving over a bunch of audio files. It could be as much as 25GB and 1000 files. Will that work via TAR?
