Ftp – direct file transfer via ftp to ftp

ftpunixunix-shell

Hi i want to transfer few file (which is very big in size ) from A server to B server via
ftp.

I have credentials of Server A's ftp and Server B's ftp – server B is my own server running
unix.

so can anyone suggest me the way to direct transfer files via ftp from server A to Server B

Best Answer

Why not just run (s)ftp on server B? ssh to server B, from the shell start ftp [server A]. Then get the files.

Command line FTP is pretty primitive.

You can't recursively send files/folders towards a remote site.

If you want to recreate a directory structure on the remote side the same as the local, you need to manually mkdir each path and use mput * to send everything in that directory to the remote side.

Two options to make this easier:

Stop using the primitive FTP command (ncftp is a good alternative)
Use tar to tar up the folders, send the file and extract on the far side.
