If you're able to ssh into both servers, then scp is simpler:

  • ssh serveradmin@site2
  • enter password
  • rm -r domains/site2.com/html
  • scp -r serveradmin@site1:domains/site1.com/html domains/site2.com/

If you're worried about bandwidth, then use tar z through a ssh pipe:

  • ssh serveradmin@site2
  • enter password
  • cd domains/site2.com
  • rm -r html
  • ssh serveradmin@site1 "cd domains/site1.com/; tar czf - html" | tar xzf -
