I live in the US and am selling one of my sites to a guy in Europe. The site size is about 600Mb and the database size is around 90Mb.

How do I transfer the site the best way with minimal down time? What is the best procedure?

Thanks!

Give him limited FTP access to the folder on your host would be easiest...

Usually, for large files like that, I upload them to one of my websites (zipped or rar'd) and then give the link to download. I've never had any issues with that personally.

CPanel offer backups with no problem, and you can even email your site to the guy without CPanel process -- in the latest version though...

do not give access to file by file, this is the slowest way to transfer things...

That would be a nightmare

1. If you have ssh access to the server, simply do the below, if no ssh access, ask your host to do #3 for you.

2. dump db and move the sql file to root/public_html

3. tar the root/public_html, if you have cpanel, you can tar it up that way as well.

4. ftp the tar'd file for him from your site to his, if you have a ssh account:
a. ftp ipaddyhere
b. bin
c. put
d. input the name of the file when prompted for local & remote file name.
e. if no ssh access, just use a good client like flashfxp and simply drag and drop from left pane to right pane to xfer the file.
