You can use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) for file transfers between such different servers as FTP is platform independent. It is a standard network protocol used to transfer computer files from one host to another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet. FTP is built on a client-server architecture and uses separate control and data connections between the client and the server.
