Is it possible to copy a file from one server to another without downloading first?
I have a backup file that is 10gb that I'm wanting to copy from my production server to my staging server.
Currently I'm just doing it through Transmit, but that downloads the file first, and then uploads it.
Is there a way to directly move the file from the production server to the staging server? Does SCP do this or does it download it first? How about rsync?
EDIT
Both are linux servers running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
You are asking if SCP is a solution to your problem. Do you know what SCP stands for? You would typically make a connection to Server A from Server B to do what you describe. Since you provided zero information abot your server configuration its not possible to say if SCP or SFTP is even an option you can use. You should provide that information. – Ramhound – 2016-07-19T17:31:01.547
