Question

Backup

How to transfer files from one hosting to another without losing data, and with the least difficulty and time?

Answer 1

Crtl+C, Ctrl+V or scp or rsync

Answer 2

The simplest, most convenient and fastest will always be scp or rsync:

# Находясь на старом сервере, рекурсивно копируем директорию отсюда на удаленный (новый) сервер
scp -r /path/to/local_dir remote_host:/path/to/remote_dir

# Или находясь на новом сервере, копируем директорию со старого
scp -r remote_host:/path/to/remote_dir /path/to/local_dir

Rsync is handy if you need to save permissions, owners, dates, or data already partially overlaps - you can learn more in the documentation or in one of the many lessons, such as this one . If we are talking about a simple transfer "from here to here, in its entirety and without any additional nuances - scp will be more than enough.
