server1
=======
cd /dir/of/html
tar cvfz backup.tgz *
ftp <server2>
login
pass
put backup.tgz
quit
server2
=======
cd /to/where/you/uploaded/the/file
mv backup.tgz /dir/of/html/folder
tar xvfz backup.tgz
done.
Of course, if both servers were on the same LAN, you could use NFS and
mount the two and then just mv the file right into the proper dir, but
its your choice. The above is just using standard FTP.
