Question
How to copy files from one server to another droplet
- Posted December 2, 2014
Hi,
I broke my website and now I am trying to spin a new droplet and copy the files from one droplet to another.
Can anyone let me know how I can do this?
Thanks a lot.

It’s pretty easy. You can use scp to transfer your files over ssh.
Of course you will need to replace 0.0.0.0 with your new droplet’s IP and update the paths included above. This command would copy everything in /path/to/my/files to the directory /path/on/remote/droplet on the other droplet.

scp -P 2222 -r -i /path/to/my/openSSH/key /path/to/my/files root@0.0.0.0:/path/on/remote/droplet you need to specify key of your remote droplet. if needed use puttygen to convert your key to OpenSSH your openSSH key should not accessible by others. example: permission 0400.

Maybe a stupid question. But if I use this function it is saying. Connection refused. I am using SSH. So don’t have a root password. Does anybody know how to run the sudo scp command between servers what that?
What if the data to be transferred is around 30 GB + ? What do you suggest ? Lets say i am trying to copy from softlayer to a droplet?
