Method 2. Use FTP Desktop App to Copy Files

The typical method of transferring data between two Windows servers is to utilize the FTP desktop application. However, most servers come without an FTP server by default. But you may utilize FTP to transmit data in a different method. Also can add a network address to your user's PC in Windows 10. Afterward, you can physically transfer files to it using File Explorer.

To accomplish the same aim on Windows Server, you may use the Remote Desktop capability. So, let's get began with the procedures without any further hesitation:

Step 1. At first, need to select the "This PC" option in File Explorer. After that, you should right-click on the blank spot and choose the "Add a network location" option.

Step 2. Following that, a pop-up box will appear. You need to select "Choose a custom network location" from the box to proceed further.

Step 3. Then input the FTP server address. If the server requires access, it will be prompted to enter a login detail. If not, select the "Login anonymously" option to access restricted areas.

Step 4. Choose and write a name that you like or that will not be difficult to recall. After this, you will see the FTP site appearing in the Network locations option in "This PC."

Step 5. Lastly, copy-paste the files and directories to or from the server.

Method 3. Transfer Files Between Servers with SCP

The SCP or secure copy command encodes the sent document and passwords, making it impossible for anyone to read it. You shouldn't have to access the system or create an FTP connection using SCP.

To transmit files, the SCP application uses SSH (Secure Shell). Login and password for the origin and the destination systems. In addition to moving data among local and distant computers, SCP allows to transport files between two servers: local and remote systems. The following are the most important details to pay attention to:

First and foremost, familiarise yourself with the SCP command syntax. SCP [OPTIONS] [SOURCE] [DESTINATION] is the most basic. If one of the paths is on the remote server, one should provide the server address (@:). Then, on Windows 10, you need to enter the command prompt and switch files using the following syntax:

• The syntax for transferring a file or folder from a local system to a remote system is as follows:

SCP [file_path] [user]@[remote_host]:[remote_dir]

SCP -r [local_dir] [user]@[remote_host]:[remote_dir]

• When you transfer a file from the remote server to the local system, use the following syntax:

scp [user]@[remote_host]:[remote_file_path] [local_dir]

scp -r [user]@[remote_host]:[remote_dir] [local_dir]

• While transmitting a file between 2 different remote servers (both systems require password), use the following syntax:

scp [user]@[remote_host]:[remote_file_path] [user]@[remote_host]:[remote_dir]
