Hi,
I want to move a huge amount of data (i.e in gigs) from one remote server to another remote server.And i don't have telnet access.
Moreover i don't want to stay connected to internet all the time while the transfer is takin place.
Does anybody know a tool that can be useful to me ??
Any help in this regard would be sincerly appreciated..
Eagerly awaiting u r response

Thanks/Regards
Techie.

Do you have a common type of tape drive on both servers? if you have a DDS drive, you can load the data onto it using tar or fbackup.

I am having difficulty understanding what you want to achieve. Can you provide more information on your question?

Share and Enjoy! Ian

How about an autmated FTP Script, that will be started in background with nohup ?

Goes like

- setup .netrc to provide automatic login
- setup script like this:

ftp targethost <cd targetdirectory
lcd sourcedirectory
put file
bye
EOF

which has to be executed

nohup script &

Hope this helps

Hi,

On the remote system, you can run your transfer session in detached mode and then disconnect your telnet session. eg.

# nohup scp -r * abc@xyz.com:data/ &
# exit

Hope this helps. Regards.

On the server you require the data from if you have any removeable drive slots available you could insert a drive, create a volume group and lvs. Then
you could pvmove the data to the drive, remove the drive and install it on the remote server. On the remove server then import the volume group and you should have all the data.

techie,

If this data is "sensitive", I'd suggest using "scp" or "sftp", especially if transfering over the internet. Regular FTP isn't going to give you that protection.

man pages for scp: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1

first install this:
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/Admin/openssh-3.0.2p1/
then this: http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Misc/zlib-1.1.3/
Then ssh: http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/Admin/openssh-3.0.2p1/

Hey,

I happened to come across a site
http://www.ftpy-ah.com
this site may not be perfect but it does serve the purpose of transfer of data from one remote server to another. And it is unbelieveably fast.
Morover one does not have to be connected to internet all the time while transferring data.
Just fire commands & go away.
Yet in the background all ur commands will be processed.

Do give me ya feedback on this one ....

Regards,
