 * Hello,
 * I want to run a setup in which the full website is uploaded to a different web
   server. I can’t figure out how to do that using W3 Total Cache.
 * Can anyone help me out?

 * I want to run Server 1 as a nginx proxy and server 2 as the front end.
 * I want to have the files locally generated and then copied using SSH/FTP

 * As you seem to want to be serving a static site, I’d personally recommend using
   [varnish](http://www.varnish-cache.org) as a front-end memory cache for fantastic
   performance and have nginx behind that.
 * To answer your question, it seems like you’re trying to generate an off-line 
   copy of your site which defeats the purpose of using w3tc as it’s meant to be
   a cache for a live site using a database. If you really want that, look into 
   [HTTrack](http://www.httrack.com/).
 * None of this is related to w3 total cache, apart from speeding up the off-line
   generation of content
