Hey,

I am a complete novice when it comes to SSH. I have a two hosts. I want to transfer all my sites from my old host to my new host using SSH since it will be safer that way and faster. Problem is, I have no idea how to go about it. It is a big site with over 30k user uploaded files. Its signature generator.

I created the SSH key on my old host and it gave me a private and public key. I then imported both the private and public key onto my new host. Is that the right direction so far?

Now I am confused at what the next step is. Do I click one of these?

I tried clicking the first one but don’t know what to put here:

Do I put the server I would use to access my FTP?

Thanks for any help. Also, if you know of any step by step tutorials, let me know.
