Server to Server

As already mentioned, SmartFTP has a feature known as 'server to server' which basically means being able to transfer files from one server directly to another server.

Fire up SmartFTP and log into both servers, that is, the source (where your getting your files from) server and your destination (where the files are going) server. I'm not detailing every click required to achieve this.

With the program there are a number of ways to achieve the one process, as is the case with any modern software. I'll detail the menu way.

Open the files listed in the source server panel and drag and drop the relevant folder into the lower 'temporary queue' panel.

There are a number of ways in which files can be transferred from one server to another. A feature of SmartFTP is Server to Server and is a very handy one at that.

FTP Accounts

A tool that you will definitely need is a File Transfer Protocol ("FTP") client program. These programs are more or less explorer type programs in which files can be uploaded and downloaded from the server.

There are a number of freely available FTP client programs and here are a few:

  • Smart FTP (31 Aug, 2008, no longer free)
  • Filezilla
  • Core FTP
  • Cyberduck (for Mac)
  • Google Search Results

In order to utilise an FTP client you must first set-up FTP accounts at your host. I'm assuming that this particular process doesn't require detailed explanation as most likely you would have been using an FTP client at your old host. Suffice to say, that at my host, when creating the addon domain names corresponding FTP accounts were created as well. If this is not the case with your host, simply follow the prompts to create an FTP account(s). Even if automatic and default FTP accounts were created I'd recommend purposely creating an FTP account that purposely points to a specified folder. That folder's sole purpose being to receive uploaded files. Once uploaded, they can be moved to where ever you want.
