How to copy from the server 30 GB of pictures in jpeg'e?

Question

System administration

The essence of the question is this - when dinosaurs still lived on earth, some stubborn LSD developers using ancient runes made a server on which Linux is installed and now 30 GB of photos (a kind of "CDN" in quotes) are stored there, which need to be copied from there and not lost . The server is accessed via SSH. Attention to the question, who will offer a better method for pulling out a photo from there than, for example, through MC? I suspect that when I open MC it will just hang on me :)

Answer 1

rsync only , hardcore only:
Keys:

• a- recurse into subpackages and try to pass both file permission attributes and save links. Probably, it is also optional - you can instead of it r- only recursion into subfolders.
  
• v- will pour the path of each copied file into the console in detail. It's probably better to remove it and instead qdisplay only errors/warnings;
  
• z– will try to compress files to transfer a smaller amount. With jpeg'ami it is inefficient. You can score.

rsync
tar+split
zip+split
OpenStack Swift and uploading automatically to the storage (this is how file backups in Selectel leak)

wget

Answer 5

Stupidly through WinSCP or analogues we pull out everything on the computer. Next, we do everything that is needed.
