The fastest way is to transfer manually with rsync and change the serverId of the files in the database.

exactly as @enricodia mentioned. transfer server 1 and server 2 to the new server 1 and server 3 and server 4 to the new server 2 and then update files' serverId using SQL...

Well, I just transferred to new servers and rsync is the fastest way as I researched.

first transfer uploaded files then move database, moving files take more time depending on your connection speed and network traffic.

in command line use the following command :

rsync -hrtplu --progress --stats /yourfilesexactdirectory username@serverIP:/yourfileslocationondestinationserver


then it asks for password of user you defined on command, enter it and if all addresses are correct it starts to move files and show you percentage and remaining files count down.

you can do it as old server 1&2 to new server 1 and old server 3&4 to new server 2.

good luck

Dont forget to change the chmod or change the owner of the files that you transferred. If you transfer the files as root the php script won't be able to delete them.

Please help me:
Make note of the new server 'id' from your database. It's in the 'file_server' table. >>> I don't know how can do it? What is it?

Update the serverId on all file records in your database to point at the new server. Below, replace NEW_SERVER_ID with your new server id (noted above) and OLD_SERVER_ID with your old server id.
UPDATE file SET serverId = NEW_SERVER_ID WHERE serverId = OLD_SERVER_ID;
