 This tutorial is a sub-section of the main [[tutorials:server:migration:start]] instructions.  You can follow this tutorial as part of **Step 1: Moving Files**.
-<tip c w>**Warning:**  This option is only for advanced users that are **familiar with SSH** and have **SSH access** on both the "from" and "to" locations, and ability to use SCP to directly transfer a file from one location to the other.  This also means that both locations must be on Linux based servers, since SSH is not available for Windows servers.  If you are not sure how to use SSH we recommend to use the option [[#Option 2: Use FTP to move from one folder or server to another]] instead.</tip>

-Only use this method if you are **comfortable with using SSH and the command line**, and you have SSH access for both the "from" location and the "to" location.  Otherwise stick to the standard FTP instructions mentioned in [[#Option 2: Use FTP to move from one folder or server to another]].

-This is accomplishing the same "end result" as the [[#Option 2: Use FTP to move from one folder or server to another]] option, you will be copying the files from one location to the other, but "how they get there" is much different((And if you enjoy this sort of thing, much more fun as well!)).  However if you are able to use SSH on the from and to locations, this option is much faster and more reliable since you only transfer a single large zipped file directly from one location to the other, instead of downloading and uploading the files one by one using FTP.

 This is the overall steps you will be following: First, SSH into the "from" location, zip up the entire contents of the folder that the software is installed in.  Then while in the "from" location still, use SCP to transfer the zipped file to the other location.  Then SSH to the "to" location, move the zip file to the folder that the files should be installed in, and unzip.

   - Make sure the **geodesic_files.tar.gz** file exists in the folder.  If not you may have transferred it to the wrong folder, in which case figure out where you copied it to, and copy it into the correct folder or re-transfer the file using SCP.  Then unzip the file using<code bash>tar -zxvf geodesic_files.tar.gz</code><

+===== All SSH commands =====
+Below are all of the SSH commands to run, these are extracted from the steps above and combined for your easy reference and removal of the explanations.  Note that you will need to make adjustments in some cases such as to folder or domains used.  If you aren't sure what needs to be changed, stick to following it step by step in the instructions above.
