Recently I had to move my base chevereto install w/ content to a new server and it included 76k files.
Using SFTP and a client(filezilla) was out of the question because of the time it would take. Assuming your are on an unmanaged host you can copy your public/www folder directly from local server to a new server using this command (this took me 10 minutes instead of 3 hours)
It's required to have an OS on the destination server with SFTP/SSH setup ofc.
More documentation and use can be read here https://www.tecmint.com/rsync-local-remote-file-synchronization-commands/
