Hi everybody,

 

I have 12k files to upload which i have taken from another server.

 

This needs to be put onto my server.

 

I have tryed upload them all but a few thousand of them failed and the website ovuisly isent working...

 

Is there a safeway to get the files on there im really stuck please help :(

Upload 1 zip file of them and unzip it on the server?

 

 

for example with PHP

<?php
$output = `unzip my12kfiles.zip`;
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";

Upload 1 zip file of them and unzip it on the server?

 

 

for example with PHP

<?php
$output = `unzip my12kfiles.zip`;
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";

 

So do I just upload the zip, and then save that file as unzip.php then go to that on my browser and it should run? :S

no safeway, morrisons took them over. As Jock says or just keep trying. Was there any pattern to the files that failed? Or was it just your server thinking something nasty was happening?

well the uploads were going great for like 8k then i popoutside come back and then there had been 2 thousand failed files.. im going to talk to citycm about it, if jocks way dont work

So do I just upload the zip, and then save that file as unzip.php then go to that on my browser and it should run? :S

 

yeah just upload the zip file and that script and open it in your browser. Just change the php to have the right zip file name. *It wont work if the server doesnt have unzip, safe_mode is on or shell_exec is disabled.

ok got it

 

ill come back with my results in a bit.. 12k files takes flipping ages to upload even on 50mg broadband

If you've got shell access to them, use the SCP command and just copy directly from one to another

increase max execution time if its huge.

 

ini_set('max_execution_time', 300);
$output = `unzip my12kfiles.zip`;
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";

ffs lol i cant do jocks way till this zip is done. 11 hours left... :/

 

whats that other way? you know a link that will guide me thru it jay?

Do you have shell (SSH) access to both?

If so, use PuTTY or Tunnelier to log into one server, then take a look at this

Of course, if you can execute commands like Jock put above on your old server, you could use a gzip tarball command to zip it, then use wget to send it across...lots of ways of doing it

i only have shell access on my server dam :/

 

lol i see!

 

how do i gzip tarbal????

What FTP program are you using and did you get any error messages for the failed transfers (such as "Too many connections from this IP)?

filezilla and no i did not. im uploading a cs-cart btw

If you have SSH only on your server, then use ftp via shell on your server, login to your remote server, and download all the files to your server

that was a bit confusing.

 

right im going to log into server 1 (my server that the files need to be moved on 2) and find shell access on the cpannel

 

and then im also going to have ftp open of server 2 where the files are

 

is this the right direction..

OK Which server do you have shell access to?

server one, the one that needs the files on it

OK, so log in via SSH to the server, and cd into the folder that needs the files in it

check your server allows for ftp by typing in

man ftp

This should show you the manual page for your systems FTP command

 

I'll do these posts in stages for you

i have done jocks way, the zip file has done.

 

Archive: target.zip

 

has come up after i went on upload.php

 

now what :S

 

 

=================

 

i still want to do your way thou jay if this isent working

You have the zip file and the php script uploaded? if so just go to http://yoursite.com/unzip.php and it should unzip it. you could use the ssh to run the same command too

unzip filename.zip

OK, so log in via SSH to the server, and cd into the folder that needs the files in it

check your server allows for ftp by typing in

man ftp

This should show you the manual page for your systems FTP command

****.. i loged onto the cpannel and it says 500 / 500 MB ... from my zip being uploaded.

 

Do you think that i got to 8k files ok and then the rest woulden upload because there wasent enough space...?

blaintly the reason!!!!

lol there's a good chance of it

ok thanks for all the help, im going to up the qouta then try again lol

ok i think my zip file is downloading onto the server...

 

do i have to leave the upload.php page open?

 

and how do i no when its done?

 

Archive:  target.zip
extracting: targets/.htaccess       
 inflating: targets/aff_statistics.php  
 inflating: targets/affiliate_plans.php  
 inflating: targets/auth.php        
 inflating: targets/banner.php      
 inflating: targets/banners.php     
 inflating: targets/banners_manager.php  
 inflating: targets/cart.php        
 inflating: targets/categories.php  
 inflating: targets/checkout.php    
 inflating: targets/client_env.php  
 inflating: skins/new_vision_blue/manifest  
 etc...

when its done, that text will stop

ok its done.

 

I have uploaded all the files succesfully i think.

 

just need the person who hosts the website on the other sever to send me the msql database and should be good to go!
