Try using the IP address of the server instead of the hostname (i assume you are using the hostname to copy the accounts..)

this might sound silly. but do you have enough server space on the drive?

I have experienced timeouts when moving accounts with very large sql databases. If the account in question has alot of sql. You can rename the database names so that they don't get moved...and then move the databases manually.

How do i move a database and the username and passwords for it too ? I know how to copy the database folder but then the users/passwords for that database get messed up and I don't know them to reset it.

well to be quite honest, on the few that I had this problem with, I just poped open the config.php files for the applications that used them and "fixed" it.

Yup thats not the problem though cause i tried an account without mysql databases and it worked just fine.

i figured it out.... it was rdate that was't going through. I added port 37 allow to the firewall and it works great.. thanx
