How to copy files between locations on your Managed Server
Copying of files on a Managed Server can be done using commands via SSH/Telnet.
- Check that you have enabled SSH/Telnet for the domain on your Managed Server.
- Log in via SSH/Telnet.
- ‘Change directory’ to the folder above the folder containing the files. E.g.:
cd mydirectory/
In this case, the files are located in:
/mydirectory/myfolder/
- Use the following syntax for your copying command:
scp -P2222 "source file/folder" "destination_ftpuser@destination_server://usr/home/"destination_ftpuser"/
Example (copying to another domain on the same server):
scp -P2222 myfolder destination_ftpuser@localhost: //usr/home/destination_ftpuser/
Example (copying to another domain on a different server):
scp -P2222 myfolder destination_ftpuser@serverIPAddress: //usr/home/destination_ftpuser/
Further information on secure copy is available online.
