Is this possible? I typically run newcservers in parallel and than the migrate module cannot make simple ile copies I guess.

Anonymous (not verified) CreditAttribution: Anonymous commentedThe migration system, like in D7 migrate, needs a connection to a database port. It can be local or remote. If the other machine is remote and behind SSH you could, in theory, run it over an SSH tunnel.
The files can be pulled from an http/https source or directly from the file system. I suppose it would be possible to do an sshfs mount by using a second SSH connection if SSH is truly your only option.
Generally it is best to have both sites (new and old) on the same host so you can avoid having to deal with portential issues caused by firewalls, etc.

hass CreditAttribution: hass commentedIt is not realistic to run both Drupal versions on same host. D8 requires latest linux and php versions where older versions require older php versions. The typical way is to run a new server in parallel and discontinue the old one after migration.
The ssh stuff should be part of migrate module. Nothing I need to do manually.

heddnIf you need to migrate a D6/D7 site, and that site is on another server, just provide the credentials and suck in the data from that other server. Connecting to mysql on a remote server (for example) is fully supported.
