If the server is still up and public, or you have downloaded the history archive, then moving the history to another server is possible.
You state that the accounts are on different Galaxy servers. This is why the share by email didn’t work. To share with another user by email, both accounts must be on the same server. All accounts on the same Galaxy server will have distinct registered email addresses.

Tips:
- Make sure the history is set as “Shared” at the original server. This is required.
- Click on the link in the archiving message (blue box) to get an updated status until noted as being completed and ready for import/download. The larger the history, the longer it will take the archive to build. Permanently deleting any data not needed will make the history smaller and the archive creation faster.
- Once the archive is ready, clicking on the link a second time will launch a download dialogue (where to save it, etc). This can be dismissed if you are not going to download it. Copy the URL instead for a direct Galaxy-to-Galaxy transfer.
- You can navigate away from the export page and do other thing while waiting (including logging out). But be sure to watch it, archived histories remain on servers for a set length of time (varies by the server, generally about a day or so).
- If clicking on “Export to File” starts the archive creation again instead of taking you back to the original archive already in progress, the server might not support archive creation or you may have waited too long to check back.
- Downloading a history archive locally from one server, then uploading it to another, works for almost all cases regardless of firewalls and other server configuration. If transferring by URL fails, try that instead. Keeping a backup of your work is a good idea anyway, plus these archives can be uncompressed to use the included datasets for other purposes.
