How I can download all my server in a .zip file?

Posted on September 18, 2015

Linux Basics

Apache

By Nay

I don’t know if my sistem is LEMP or XAMP or LAMP… How I discover it?

All I know is that my server is Apache - Linux CentoS 6.

And I want download all file of my webserver to my local host, because I need search files in my explorer, because in terminal commands I don’t find files.

Can you give me the best way to download all my server in a zip file? Or can you give me tips?

Hi,

“I don’t know if my sistem is LEMP or XAMP or LAMP… How I discover it?” :

Your System is CentOS 6 :-)

LAMP	Software
OS	Linux
Webserver	Apache
Database	MySQL
Language	PHP

LEMP	Software
OS	Linux
Webserver	Nginx
Database	MySQL
Language	PHP

XAMP (LAMP for Windows)	Software
OS	Linux
Webserver	Apache
Database	MySQL
Language	PHP

“And I want download all file of my webserver to my local host, because I need search files in my explorer, because in terminal commands I don’t find files.” :

The unsafe way

yum install zip
zip -r /var/www/html/html.zip /var/www/html

Now you can dowload all files at domain.com_or_IP/html.zip

The safe way

yum install zip
zip -r /var/www/html/html.zip /root

Use SFTP and download it

Heya,

At the moment there is no feature to download your snapshopts/backups locally.

Having said that on our ideas board there is a topic about that:

https://ideas.digitalocean.com/core-compute-platform/p/download-snapshot-andor-backup

You can upvote it so that this feature gets developed in the future.

As for now. You can use SFTP to download whatever is needed from your Droplets.
