Transfering Files to Host Gator...

[ZED28]

I have been a member of another webhost - arteryplanet.net for about a year and aside from a couple of outages, their service has been good. To be honest, I thought it was unbeatable with 1.6Gigs of web-space for $12 per month, until I found THIS site!!! I just signed up for the "Swamp" service and got more than double my storage for a couple of extra bucks! The other thing I noticed was how quickly the pages loaded and the feedback from this forum seems to be nothing but praise. 8)

So, here's my question...
I have two sites that I run and maintain and both sites add up to a little over 1 Gig. I need to transfer these files to my new Gator account but wanted to avoid having to download them to my PC first and SLOWLY upload them here. I considered using FlashFXP to go from site to site and bypassing my box but it appears that HostGater or ArteryPlanet don't allow this (apparently a common practice).

Does anyone have any ideas of a better way of transfering my files/sites over?

Many thanks in advance!

If you were aloud to use SSH on both your acounts, you could GZIP the file, use wget to download it to the HostGator server, then uncompress it. However, HostGator doesn't allow SSH connections so you can only do it by downloading to your computer first... :|

Yeah, I figured as much but the good news is I'm done, moved-in, happy and very impressed so far! :lol:
