Clone a production site for new repo?

[Eric Stein]

Total newbie question - I have a production site on my server I want to create a repo out of it. How can I do that? is there an SSH or easy way to FTP into the server to clone the files? Or do I have to download the files locally and then make a repo?

HI @Eric Stein,

Create Directory on your local machine and then Clone your bitbucket server repo into it.

Example : C:\Demo> git clone https://username@bitbucket.org/teamsinspace/documentation-tests.git

thx for your answer - I am confused...

you are saying clone my bitbucket server repo into it - but I am trying to get the files from my FTP server into the bitbucket repo - without downloading a gig of files locally and then reuploading to bitbucket - is there a way on my liquid web server I can send the files from the server to a bitbucket repo to create the repo - I don't have one yet for this project - I just uploaded files first to server, .5GB
