ok guys.
I have a Centos server running a large website I own. Its is severely struggling under the load and I am having to move to a new load balanced setup.
The servers are both remote (to me) and although I can do most things admin wise in nix, I am struggling a bit to come up with a way to transfer 4 GB of folders (one main and lots of subfiles and directories.)
I was thinking SFTP or FTP but Im not 100% on the command to use.
example info/
Server A - (the one with site on) IP 11.222.333.444
Server B - IP 12.222.333.444
For both servers
user: root
Password: password
The directors I want to copy from Server A to server B
/var/www/html/site.com/
All help is appreciated

ok, I am able to connect to the remote machine and used SCP
scp /var/www/html/mysite root@server******:/user/folder1
then entered the relevant password. All looked fine but then I am getting this
/var/www/html/mysite: not a regular file
What do I need to change to get it to copy the whole directory??????? and all subdirectories and files? thanks
edit//
SOlved it now. Sorry mods, please close this thread or leave for others who need this info
i had forgotten to user the recursive command. (its late!!)
Got it copying over now
scp -r /var/www/html/mysite root@server1.*******:/tmp/mysite/
