Hi all,

I recently got a new server from rackshack and I want to trasfer all my sites from my old server. I tried the FlashFXP program but although it copies the file structure without any problems it keeps giving me a 500 error when trying to copy files. According the the FlashFXP help this is because the servers aren't allowed to FXP.

So can anybody else please tell me how to transfer these sites across using another method. I have a very slow connection so the fastest method is preferred.

Thanks

If it is a RAQ to another RAQ that you can use the migration utility that Cobalt developed.

Well that can work to. There are some migration utilities and software that you can use to do this. Do a search and read about them and find out which one is best for your needs.

Both have proftpd?

If so You have to add this line to proftpd.conf

AllowForeignAddress on

That should make it work
