What sort of error does FileZilla give you?
Have you tried with another FTP client?

2. Easiest thing is to have your old host tar up that folder then just download the tarball, then you don't need to worry about opening the folder as it'll just be 1 big file to download, then upload to your new host and have then untar it (or untar it on your home comp and upload the folder yourself).

| Posted by Kailash12, 11-13-2013, 01:09 AM | | I believe you are facing the problem due to large number of files. I suggest to compress the folder (zip, tar etc.) and download the zip file and extract it on the new server.
Another option is, if both servers are linux server and you have root access, you can use rsync to transfer the data.

| Posted by luki, 11-13-2013, 10:16 PM | | Putting 10 million files in a single directory was a pretty bad idea. Expect long delays trying to enumerate files in that directory -- which is why your FTP session fails. Your best bets are probably sftp and rsync. The latter would be more efficient if it's available to you.
