Problem Description:
is it possible to transfer a complete website from one server to another using ssh

If so can some one lead me in the right direction on how to do it?

Thanks

i did but it confused me because I am dumb

I found how to move the data base there but not the whole site.

I did some more searching and found how to move the whole site

1. use ssh to log into old server

2. get to the root folder of each account you want to transfer

3. Give the following command:

tar -cpzf tarballname.tar.gz *

(this will create a tarball of all the files on old server)

4. log out of ssh session

5. log into the new server using ssh.

6. go over to the folder where you want that account to be transferred.

7. Give the following command:

wget http://<path-to-tarball-created-earlier>

(example: wget http://oldlocation.com/tarballname.tar.gz )

8. Give the following command :

tar -xzf tarballname.tar.gz
