How to copy files between locations on your Managed Server

Steps

• 1
  Check that you have enabled SSH/Telnet for the domain on your Managed Server.
• 2
  Log in via SSH/Telnet.
• 3
  ‘Change directory’ to the folder above the folder containing the files.
  Example:

  cd mydirectory/
  

   
  In this case, the files are located in:

  /mydirectory/myfolder/

• 4
  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/
