Ok, I figured a bit of this out, I SSH to the destination server, and
FTP from there to the old one, then I''m trying to mget all the
files, wich I can, but not the subfolders, this is what I'm tryng:
mget -r public_html/*
is there an error in my syntax?
is there a better way to bring a hole folder w/ subfolders from ine
server to another?
