Online storage - technical question - HELP!

I want to move my data out of one online storage facility (Diino) to another.

Is there any way of doing this without temporary storage on my pc? For example, can I download to a flash drive or similar and use this as a 'lifeboat'?

Help please!!!

    Yes, I think you should be able to do that. IIRC you just drag and drop to wherever you want.

    Or, you could use some software to sync the data between the 2 servers. the data would never sit on your PC but it may pass through with the software you just set it to go and it will let you know when its done. By Syncing the data you basicly mirror one server to the other then ignore the one you dont wan to use.

    Diino uses it's own client though, so I doubt that would be possible.

    How about the idea of downloading to a memory stick/flash drive? Any good?

    Yes, you should be able to drag & drop from the Diino client to a flash drive. Try it and see.

    Bit curious as to why you don't want to use the PC as the middleman? Maybe it isn't your PC you will be using?

    I'm guessing that maybe it doesn't have much hard disk space free???
