Hi all,

We want transfer our sites to our new server.

When we try to transfer the sites from WHM we can't transfer some of them and appears this msg:

Sorry, the copy failed. Unable to find the cpanel user file
Extract Failed
Invalid Account

Please provide us with a best way to transfer the sites.

Regards

Manually backup.

Use full backup @ cPanel and transfer the full backup to your server.

mv backup.tar.gz /home
/scripts/restorepkg username

Just tried this method

However when I went to transfer the backup file using wget the file wasnt found. It wasnt visible in FTP - only in SSH. Very weird

Couldnt use the WHM transfer user account option because the backup file size is larger than the /temp partition.

Any ideas?
