I have about 600MB on a remote web server that I'd like to copy to a PC, then copy to a new server. I tried FileZilla, but it failed partway through the transfer from the old server and couldn't recover without losing track of what was already finished. Is there a better way?
Thanks for the replies. For clarification, here are more details of the problem and my final results.
Both remote servers are *nix systems with SSH and shell access. I hadn't considered moving the files directly without the intermediate PC; I decided that I wanted to keep it as part of the process, mostly to provide backup for the files. The PC in the middle is Windows, but I have most Linux utilities available as part of Cygwin.
My decision to copy to Windows had an unexpected benefit - it told me of a couple subtle details of my file structure that might have gone unnoticed otherwise. I generated checksums of all the files on both servers and the Windows PC with the following:
find . -type f -exec cksum {} \; | sort >sums.txt
I found a couple of mismatches in the Windows copy. First was two files that had identical names except for upper/lower case differences, which caused the second file to overwrite the first. Second was a soft link, which got converted to a regular file.
I think my initial problems with Filezilla were caused by the upper/lower case duplicate, which caused that file to abort. The server connection was lost by the time I checked back on the transfer status, which explains why I was unable to recover.
