OK, does anyone know of a way to create a tar archive on the remote system when you are connected to it via FTP?
I am doing this from the root SSH CLI and the purpose is to move user web contents from one server to another. So I log into my server go to users ~ then ftp to the other server. It would be great to be able to tar up the directory and then download the tar archive.
Moving stuff this way is not something I do very often (not having ssh to both servers, just one). Seems mget * is messing up stuff as it is going to either b ASCII or Binary and there are things that need to be transfered both ways. I don't want to sit and do it almost a file at a time, maybe file type at a time.
So if you have any tips for moving web site from server to server at the CLI with SSH only to the receiving server let me know
