Can't be much of a website then. I really wonder if it gets the whole website.
Even the files accessed via ssi? Does it get .htaccess files? I am really
curious. My boss asked if MS IE 4.0 could do this and I think this is what he
had read. But what do you really mean? Does FP ftp to the server and then zip
everything up or ...
I have moved many sites and it takes about as long as it takes tar to work. I
tar a site saving the result in the directory above.
tar -cvf ../website.tar .
It will wrap every file/directory from that point (notice the dot) until the very
bottom has been reached. I would then compress that. And then I would ftp
from the other server and collect it (you could do an ftp put I guess but I never
have). You can move megabytes quite fast that way.
My rede.com site is about 98 megabytes. It would take me a little longer than
5 minutes to move it. Maybe 20 minutes. I would be curious to know how the
FP move works. Oh yes, when you are on the new site you just do this:
tar -xvf website.tar
to unravel the site.
