Domain Transfer From Remote Server

In the Source server using cpanel user name and password first we have to create a backup for particular domain in -> Cpanel -> Backup
(This will be in the form of cpanelbackup.username.tar.gz)
2nd
From our server the destination server, make the ftp connection to the source server

ftp>get cpanelbackup.username.tar.gz

after downloading this file to our server

#mv cpanelbackup.username.tar.gz /home
#script/restorepkg

Last we have to change the ownership to the file and folder (ie, chown username.username -R *)

Next Idea is from Mr.Dan Thopson
After correcting the file permission even if particular is owned by root. So in WHM area the domain we just transferred wont be visible. So to fix that:
1. Log into WHM
2. Click on Reseller Center
3. Under "Reseller Modifications", select reseller account from the drop down list
4. Click on Change ownership of multiple accounts
5. Scroll down to find the account we just moved over, and check the box next to it, Then click the "Change owner of selected accounts" at the bottom of the page
He is saying " As far as I know this is the quickest way to do it, there's no simple way to do it via SSH ".
