Transferring a website from Windows server to linux server

Well if you have command line access on the Linux box, you could use wget –mirror to pull the files down.

To copy the whole site

wget –mirror -w 2 -p -P site data goes here ftp://user:[email protected] (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = your real ip or domain)
Will copy all files from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to the directory site_data_goes_here
If you just want the html files from a site, no ftp login needed all lower than public_html.. try
wget –mirror -w 1 -p –html-extension –convert-links -P site_data_goes_here http://www.your_domain.com
Or just install something like winscp on the windows box and transfer the files via ssh to the linux box. Other than that, use ftp.
