I'm working on moving a site to a new host for someone and I'm having trouble with their media. They have a directory with thousands and thousands of images and videos. I attempted to zip this directory using the following:tar -zcvf media.tar.gz path/to/directoryBut it gets about 3/4 of the way through and then just stops with a message that just sayskilledHow can I compress this directory? Should I just compress it in pieces? This site is hosted on Hostgator.
How can I tar.gz a huge directory on a shared host? The process keeps getting killed
