Can you recommend a script?

Hi

We decided to move our code-intensive site from godaddy to a faster hosting company. We use Joomla and it has a huge amount of files (15mb of several thousand php files).

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a script that will transfer all the files and folders via php-ftp, server to server. I know php has the capabilities but I don’t think I know enough to write a good transfer script myself.

Thanks!!!

If you can yourself:
Install a good client on your new server (check that it can recurse into directories) then have the new server receive directly from the old one.
Otherwise, get an admin to do that for you.

just had a thought, probably much easier than my previous suggestion: rsync
