Hi,

Thanks Andy - I was trying to move the data from server to my hard disk (via FTP).
In that case, then you will just have to make do with the large files :P Isn't your connection very fast? Even on my connection - I can download a 500mb file in about an hour (maybe 2)

So, from the above method you explained, is it possible to just move each dir from one server to another. e.g. one server has directories such as dir1, dir2, cgi-bin, dir-3, etc., I want to move the same data and same structure without making a tar.gz first. Can just say "get dir2" and get that data replicated on the new server?
The example I gave, was for moving .tar/.gz/.tar.gz files from server to server - you can't do "directories" like that, as you have to manually do each file, which wouldn't be very praticle.
The only good thing about moving it from server to server, is you can normally run FTP at the speed the server has access too. For example, if both servers are on T3 connections, then it should be lightning fast :)
