How do I copy data between two accounts?

How can we transfer/move files from one account to another?

You can quickly transfer files between two Ecenica accounts using SSH.

For example you may wish to copy the contents of your public_html from one account to another.

Using SSH is faster then FTP as SSH allows a direct account-to-account transfer saving you from having to download and re-upload files to/from your computer using FTP.

How to copy files between two accounts using SSH

  1. Create a .tar.gz of the public_html files in cPanel File Manager
  2. Enable SSH on the account you want to transfer the files to. https://www.ecenica.com/support/answer/enable-ssh-cpanel/
  3. Login to SSH.
  4. Use ‘wget’ to download the .tar.gz you created earlier. E.g. wget http://my-domain.com/file.tar.gz
  5. Use file manager to extract the files.
