I have two different Elasticsearch clusters (for example, the name of the server is `test-elk-ver6` and `test-elk-ver7`) which has run on the different server.

I want to migrate the data from `test-elk-ver6` to `test-elk-ver7`, so I tried to take a snapshot of `test-elk-ver6` at `test-elk-ver6`'s local repository, then restore it at the `test-elk-ver7`.

However, it seems like that there is no way to register `test-elk-ver6`'s repository on the `test-elk-ver7`. (Or maybe I didn't know how I could)

I have read the [Read-only URL repository](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/snapshots-register-repository.html#snapshots-read-only-repository), but I have no idea how to specify `test-elk-ver6`'s repository to "settings".

```auto
PUT /_snapshot/my_read_only_url_repository
{
  "type": "url",
  "settings": {
    // how could specify the repository? just location of the repository will be enough?
    "url": "http://{test-elk-ver6's ip addr}/????" 
  }
}

```

Should I just zip the snapshot from the `test-elk-ver6` and move it to the `test-elk-ver7` for restoring it? Or is there any way to register the repository from another server?

Just using Nginx for routing the repository's path, then everything solved.
