    the most basic method would be direct wget.

    rsync, but may be I misunderstood the question.

  • eoleol Member

    Something like: wget -c -r -np -nH -e robots=off http://...

    wget is basically server A downloading stuff from source.

    So, you tarball folders and wget them. This is the most basic method but works.

    P.S. Do make sure that you preserve file permissions during tarballing.

    Thank you.. so i need to upgrade current hosting before doing this method ? but 100 of 150 GB used

  • eoleol Member

    Maybe 50GB will suffice if you use XZ compression. Will take a while though.

    Rsync won't use additional space https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-rsync-to-sync-local-and-remote-directories-on-a-vps

    Ask your new host if they can help you with it. Some host just don't offer migration service, some will charge you some admin fee.

    rsync -avzP

    You mean from a Web or ftp server, not "source". This would not be a good way to transfer. Rsync first choice, scp for a tarball transfer.
