There are four options for transfer and the thing you tell is that either you are transferring account from any other shared hosting or you have less privileges given by your host. If you see my post, i describe about all accounts. So i used multiple account transfer, which i dont know you have used or not. And for shell lovers i show them how to use from ssh too. Well transfer using shell is same for everything even you are transferring one account or more. -------- Regards, @alex: Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

Problem is with larger accounts the transfer gets cut off. It tries to transfer the account over using one huge tarball. The transfer goes through and it looks completed but inspecting the site there are may missing files from www/ Then on a whim i tried the first option. Basically the same thing - account name and password BUT the big difference is that the first option splits up the tarball into many pieces and then puts it all together. Much better for moving larger sites and so far since using the first option things are moving along a lot better. Seems a bit slower but at least the transfer is complete. Hope that helps future requests. Thanks, Alex. FYI

There is possibility that your current server from which you are executing scp command has problem to do ssh to your new server. Check following things, 1) On your current server check firewall 2) On your target or new server check the port for ssh is 22. 3) run following command and check you can connect to your target or new server ssh newserver mtr newserver Regards, The above error is definitely you are not having ssh facility to do from this server to target server.
