Moving from one web server to another
Hi All,
Thanks for taking the time to read and respond to my post.
I am a Unix neophyte. I can install scripts, move around some and perform basic functions - mostly related to websites and alway with a resource guide in front of me.
I currently have 12 websites hosted on a VPS and I would like to move them to a different VPS. I could do it the way I know how - which is downloading all my files from one server and then reuploading them to another - but I'm convinced that there is a better way. I just can't find what that way is.
Here is my question:
Is there a way to move these files AND maintain the correct permissions so I don't have to manually go do that work? If so, can anyone point me to a resource that is suitable for a newbie?
Thanks!
Lynn
