Push Images to New Storage Device

[SirMoo]

I'm needing a way to move images from one storage medium to another. I have about 2 gigs of images that I'd like to move from the local storage used on Chv to AWS storage. I've yet to find an efficient method to move these images and then update the database in one go.

The database update is plain easy, just create the new storage and then change the storage id of the affected images. For the aws move, try to see if there is a tool that connects Amazon with your website, maybe you could move those using ssh (not sure about it).

Yeah, there is a python script (I think?), but I'm on a managed vps for the files and they said that the tool to move from a server to AWS they won't install...

Not really worried about the database... But it's physically moving the files, there is no easy way to do that once they've been uploaded.

You can also write a simple php script which redirects itself after moving some files. I believe that there are plenty tools out there just keep digging.
