300Gb is probably best transferred by either harddrive[s], CD, OR some other physical device.

Answer 2

Probably not the best method. What type of server? Linux or Windows? If it s Linux or any other Unix based system the rsync program through ssh is probably the best option. Not only can it preserve permissions if the users at each end are the same, If it is interrupted by an Internet failure, or other error, you can restart it and it will continue from where it left off, even updating any files which have changed since the last transfer. For that much data it will mean it is possible to keep the first server active until the last transfer, but you would also be able to close off all other services on it, and do one last update very fast to prevent changes at the end. You can actually load a Windows version if you needed to see :

Answer 3

With pure FTP access, you can't set up a transfer directly from one server to another; it would have to be a two-step process via the computer you are using to access the servers, or via a third-party server which acts as a middleman.



To do a direct transfer, you need shell access to at least one of the servers. Ideally you would do an encrypted transfer via SSH (rsync is a possibility, but not absolutely necessary). If the set up precludes this, it should be possible to use your shell access to run an FTP client on one of the servers and use it to push or pull files to or from the other server directly.



Shell access means the ability to remotely log into the server and use a command line or GUI interface to operate the server as if it were sitting in front of you on your desk.

Answer 4

it is going to cost you like 3$ for a USB to USB cable, something you upload will use 10GB to function and 10GB to acquire, = 20 GB , 10 situations ur ability, which may cost 10 situations ur modern cost, and yet a USB cable expenses 3 funds :)

Answer 5

There's no way other than downloading then uploading them on the other server.



If you have access to the machines (I mean shell access), you can do scp/sftp.
