I like RandyM's last post there, seems simple enough. I'm planning a server move, and the server I'm moving from doesn't have telnet/SSH access (reason enough for a move in my book!) and so I'm going the FTP route.
So, to recap-- grab the files via FTP, being sure to maintain the original directory structure. Images can be downloaded in Binary/Auto, everything else should be downloaded in ASCII.
Now, I upload the files to the new server in an identical directory structure, using ASCII or Binary where appropriate. From there I set my permissions, then update the paths in vars_config.cgi.
Am I forgetting anything, or is there more?
Thanks for taking the time to help this newbie!
