copy or move to other cpanel account

[CAD]

is it possible to copy or move file or directory to other cpanel account in the same dis-xxxx using FTP client or SSH?

I need to do this for backup purpose. not full backup but some files or directories only..

thank you..

Yes, it is.

You will not be able to do this directly because accounts are jailed in such a way that they do not have access to each other. Though you could use something such as SCP via SSH and transfer the files that way.

Well, actually, I meant something like:

user1@cpanel$ tar -cvjf files.tar.bz2 file4 file5 file6
user1@cpanel$ mv files.tar.bz ~/public_html
user2@cpanel$ cd ~/public_html
user2@cpanel$ wget cpanel.gzo.com/~user1/files.tar.bz
user2@cpanel$ tar -xjvf files.tar.bz

Not something like setting files 0777 because I imagine that shared hosting jail would prevent accessing them anyway.

I was just trying to do this via the CPanel File Manager, but there appears to be no zip/tar function.

Those commands need to be run directly from SSH.

Few days ago I've got to deal with a domain on which SSH has been disabled. Thus I couldn't use my own method. I can confirm that the modern file manager from X3 theme features an unpack zip archive function.
