Copy/download files from server

[Imsoblonde]

Question: I have built a site and it is living live on it's server - I want to move it to another server - but first - I need to copy it to my computer - how do I do this?

[davidj]

just copy the entire site

make sure your links are relative. This includes any reference to images

I'm trying to do just that - but I am having issues... I have built the entire site - which works - and I need to copy it all back to my hard drive - and re-upload it to the new server - but I don't know how to do that - how do I access it to copy it?

[davidj]

just get filezilla

http://filezilla-project.org/

log on to the server then just transfer it

David?

What about using fetch? or Cyberduck - will they work?

[davidj]

any ftp client will work

just connect to your remote server (host) and copy it back

[Imsoblonde]

Okay - I am logged in using cyberduck - now what? I don't see any icon or direction to download the files - only an upload? where do I go to copy these files back?

[davidj]

what is cyberduck

ive never heard of it

use filezilla

[Imsoblonde]

Okay - I did it (whew) - I now have all my files on my computer...

THANK YOU for your assistance...!

Filezilla wouldn't open for me - cyberduck is just another ftp client...:smile:

[davidj]
