Centos – FTP an entire folder via the command line

centosftpmirrorssh

I'm looking so migrate some websites to a new server.
I have SSH access to the current one but only FTP access to the new one.

How can I via Centos and SSH copy entire folders to the new server via FTP?

I can log into the new server via the built in FTP client on Centos but I'm not sure of the commands after this.
I need to move the httpdocs folder from the old to the public_html folder of the new server.

I'd love to do this server to server as it'll be a lot quicker than download -> upload via my broadband connection.

Yours,
Chris

If you can install lftp on the server you have SSH to, try its mirror command:

mirror -R /path/to/httpdocs /path/to/public_html_on_destination_machine
