| Posted by ransome, 09-12-2011, 04:46 PM | | I am wondering if its possible to move a file on a server which has no domain but just an ip address.
actually I installed kloxo on my vps - it has no domain & just 1 ip address,
so I just created a dummy domain and added a tar file into that, I tried accessing it via (I added that certain dummy domain to be default) :
http://ipaddress/file
I get file not found, for me this is not an issue
but is it possible for me to move this file via ssh to another vps server of mine, if yes how can I do that ? I know I can move files from a working domain and I am doing that, but I have never ever moved files in the structure mentioned above.
I am a beginner at this, so kindly do help with commands.

"-P 22" just defines the SSH port...may not need to use it if you haven't changed the default.

Obviously change filenamehere to the name of the file you are transferring. User is the remote servers root username and servernameorip is the ip of the server or the name of it.
scp filenamehere user@servernameorip:/wanteddirectory
Or if you wanted to transfer a whole folder and everything in its sub directory:
-r pretty much tells the server to transfer all files in your current directory and sub directory's. There is more to it but keep it simple.
I am not 100% positive this will work but it should. Hopefully someone else can come along and correct it if needed.

so if in case my file name is - folder.tar should that be in the following way:
1.1.1.1 - an example ip from which I will be transferring files
2.2.2.2 - destination ip
scp -P 22 folder.tar root@2.2.2.2:/home/admin/xv/
xv is the folder where I am moving the file
is this correct ? if not kindly correct my command

| Posted by ransome, 09-13-2011, 09:15 AM | | thanks friends, I was able to move files successfully using the above command
