The following is a list of SSH commands to move a website from one location to another.
Once you SSh'd in then change directories to one higher than the directory you want to zip
>> example - if you're in the directory you want to zip already
cd ..
>> otherwise
cd public_html/
>> now to zip the website
tar -czvf fileName.tar.gz folderName/
- Now you need to SSH into the website you
're transferring to.
!!! when doing this on the project in had I first needed to delete what was on there.
> to do this I deleted the directory in question
rm -r public_html/
> and recreated that directory
mkdir public_html/
////////////////////////////////
now get yourself in the folder you want...
and use the following commands to to unzip your website
>>
wget http://www.siteyourzipisat.co.uk/fileName.tar.gz
tar -zxvf fileName.tar.gz

just 2 quick notes on the above blog that I've noticed when repeating the above procedure.
if you're zipping your whole site then theres no need to run the command
cd public_html/
as it's the public_html folder you'll want to zip. ie->
tar -czvf fileName.tar.gz public_html/
Therefore you also won't need to run
mkdir public_html/
as when unzipping the directory that will be done automatically
