copy files between two servers

Hi,

I need to copy some plublic folders with files from one webserver to another. Because it some filesize (total ~2GB) I want to copy them via linux using putty.

how do to do that:

I thought I go to the target folder and run that kind of command:
rsync http://www.domain.com/files /files

is this the right way to do that?

Never used rsync before, but I am sure rsync is the way to go here :)

What about FTP? FlashFXP lets you open a connection to two servers and copy files directly from one to the other without pulling the files thru your own PC.

sounds good but where? I see only the normal local to remote transfer option

found the option but the transfer failed because of some unknown reason...

I had to do this once.  Just used ftp from one server to the other.

Sorry kind of late in this discussion but maybe someone is still interested

I have done it easily with SCP command using SSH (putty)
