Well, I have a new server, and was in the process of transferring some accounts over from the old server using the WHM "Copy An Account From Another Server Option". Everything went fine until I went to move like the 4th account. Midway through the transfer, it had a timeout error from the other server while trying to move one of the files, and eventually, after several of these and trying to switch to verbose mode unsuccessfully, it just said: "unable to copy "/path/file.part.xx" from local server.

Now, whenever I try to do a copy of any of the accounts, I cannot get WHM to connect through the SSH port, it simply says:

"Unable to connect to IP ADDRESS:SSH PORT, bad file descriptor."

Any suggestions? I had restarted SSH successfully at both ends. Really hate to have to move all this by hand.

Command or service not known. My telnet is disabled, I believe.
