Transferring between FTP's
Is there a way to transfer between 2 ftp's using a program like FlashFXP? I have a webhosting plan which will be finished soon and i have another webhost ready for me to use whenever i need. So i want to transfer all the files from one FTP to the other directly. I would transfer them to my computer and then upload them to the new one but there are a lot of files and it will take a long time. So is it possible to make a direct connection between 2 FTP's? And if so, how do i do it?

This is possible, but a lot of ftp servers actively refuse to do this for security reasons. You can try to do it and see if your ftp servers allow it. Also, one server needs to support passive connections.
This is complicated, so you might need to use a program to do it. I have done this before using command line tools, so a telnet client is all you need if you are well versed with playing with these kind of things. This is how the transfer would go. Trying to move files from ServerA to ServerB using Client. - Client connects to both servers. - Client sends a PASV command to ServerB - Client sends a PORT command to ServerA using ServerB's IP and port. - Client sends a STOR command to ServerB - Client sends a RETR command to ServerA At this point, transfer should start from ServerA to ServerB. The steps would differ if you are using ServerA with passive mode and ServerB with active mode. |

Sometimes this is called Transload, TransFTP, that kind of thing - Googling with those terms may help you.
