server to server transfer jailed ssh

[impius]

Hello...

I would like to transfer several directories from a hostmonster account i have to a new hostgator account. I know host gator has jailed ssh...Can I do a server to server transfer with that? How?

Thanks!

rsync -v -e ssh username@127.0.0.0:~/public_html/folder ~/public_html

Change 127.0.0.0 to the hostmonster IP

Change /public_html/folder to the folder you want to copy from HM and /public_html to the dir you want the files to be transfer to.


If you want to copy your whole public_html folder, use:

rsync -v -e -r ssh username@127.0.0.0:~/public_html/* ~/public_html

You can use rsync as the above poster suggested, but make sure you e-mail support@hostgator.com and ask to have jailshell enabled on your account after you sign up (it's disabled by default). Also, keep in mind that we do offer free transfer of your site(s) at no charge.

If you are purchasing a shared account, just fill out this form:

https://secure.hostgator.com/transfer.php

If you are a reseller, this one:

https://secure.hostgator.com/resellertransfer.php

Thank you for your business and welcome to the family!

You need to connect to it from an SSH client.

If you are using windows, you can use PuTTy http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
