Recently, I was in a big trouble when loosing contact with my network administrator in Singapore during the upgrade progress of the servers, and the result is almost my sites were stopped for about 2 weeks.  The thing I could do at that time is temporarily move important sites to another server as soon as possible. However, the total size of them is hundred of megabytes and a 100-megabytes database, the connection speed in my country is still very slow to update and import the whole database to the new server if I still could use the hosting panel (CPanel or Plesk) as usual.

After some days in stress, I figured out how to move the big sites even the connection is very bad. All that I need is are two great tools WinSCP and SSH Secure Shell. More than that, they are free ! continue
