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.
