I have 2 linux based servers and i want to transfer folders from one server to another (known IP addresses), please if some know the exact process of doing it

If you have SSH up and running you could use SCP.
Alternatively you could use NFS and have the directories appear as though local.
Best option though is probably to use rsync, which you can secure with SSH and will end up being the fastest way if you plan to copy/backup the same directories on a regular basis.

If you went to google, and typed in ssh file transfer or scp, or just about anything
you would have gotten examples and explanations something like:scp -r linux@linuxserver2:/home/dumbassadmin/
/home/cannotthinkor
scp -r /usr/badtech usnamm@linuxserver:/home/test/
there i showed you the exact process now you want mr to hold it why you piss.
im sure if you don't have the common sense to goto google you will not be able to copy that command into a shell.
95% of all computer techs don't know crap, and 99.5% of computer techs think they know everything.
