    direct site-site file transfers

    I am sure there is a way to transfer files directly from site to site on the same vps - but I don't know what it is. I've been downloading from site X and uploading to site Y until now but file sizes have caused the times to get way to long. It seems like this function should be in WHM and it may be but I can't find it.

    Any suggestions appreciated.

    You could ftp from one to the other through a secure shell session That would be blazingly fast, or should be.

    Or log in as root and just cp the file from one directory to the other.
    Good luck

    Well I was looking for something more drag and drop - all the ftps I've used either won't show a window for each site (dir) or if they do try to funnel everything through the local PC. The cp through root is the only thing I can figure so far - but with all the paths involved from site a dir to site b dir ...grrr, I guess it calls for a script.

    Thanks

    Yes on the GUI - not very manly but less error prone (for me anyway). I can accomplish most of what I want using an FTP client and moving things around in the remote window pane.

    Just tried WinSCP and it allows you to drag and drop to move files between directories on the remote server without bringing the files across the client. If you don't have root logins disabled and log in to the server as root this would like you do site to site moves. I haven't found a way to copy files, though.

    EDIT: You can copies files, too. Select the files to move, right click and select "Duplicate..." then enter the destination directory.

    Also rememer that you'll need to chown the files you've moved or else the new account won't be able to do anything with them (they'll still be owned by the original account).

    Thanks - I already had it on my machine but for some reason hadn't tried it out for other than ftp transfers with the local. It works great - fast as greased lightning.

    You can do this while dragging by holding down shift!
