What tool is there for me to copy a lots of file from one webhost (FTP site) to another webhost? Like in for migrating to another host.
I'm thinking of a tool where I can specify the FTP access information for both sites, and it would perform the copy without needing to store the files on my local hard disk first.
I'm just wanting some feedback in response to what I feel is gross neglegence of a Webhost I used. I have a website thru this company, WebsitePros. They seemed great for someone like myself, a retail business owner/operator w/ no eployees. I pay 1 company to host, market, and provide software for me to build & manage my site & store. My site had an ecommerce store which was mistakenly deleted by someone at their company. They lost all my pics, product descriptions, customer info, etc, from 2 years of business. They have no backups at all for the store (i had to login to my account to manage store using thier software-- no ability to backup the info on my computer). I was told by their supervisor that traditional webhosts like WebsitePros don't backup store files, just the site itself, and that they would only be willing to help rebuild but offer no monetary compensation (oh yeah, and 3months at 1/2 price...sweet). This isn't a case of failure to pay a bill or anything along those lines---they admit total liability.
My questions are:
1) Is it not the webhost's responsibility to backup these "store" files?
2) Do I seem unreasonable in asking for damages since they lost all this info, including 100's of customer profiles & outstanding orders?
3) Heard of precedents here? Right compensation?
I need a webhost (Linux preferably) with some fairly specific FTP account requirements.
I am going to need to be able to create an FTP account that multiple users can log on at once and they can upload files but NOT overwrite files of the same name. Can this be done? Anyone know of a host with these options?
This is for a program I'm working on where users make images and they upload them to the web. I don't want to use HTTP uploading because I don't know how to script it when FTP is easier for me. I wouldn't want people to learn the filenames of images and upload images with the exact same name to delete people's files.
I'm currently looking for a good, realiable and fairly priced webhost to use for hosting files for downloads. Wont be hosting an actual website on the account - just files.

Time after which they stop copying is random.
I'm trying to use the "mysqldump" command to get a copy of all databases on the server...
but I need each database to go into a "databaseXYZ.tar.gz" file.
Does anyone know how to do this? So far, I can only get all the databases into a single file. But I need each database to have its own file.
To automate a task, I need to create a shell script that will allow me to copy the folder blank/ to a new location and rename it to news/, same for the files inside that directory. And, if possible, change the content of one of those files as well.
For example, I need to copy this:
Code:
blank/
templates/
frontend/
index.html
Blank.php
...to a new folder and rename it to this:
Code:
news/
templates/
frontend/
index.html
News.php

I am at a loss, I don't know what else to try.
In previous thread we made few manual transfer of our domains.
We also made some automated migration of few domains/sites using Web Host Manager's Copy an account from another server feature.
All the files and other settings were properly transferred from old server to new server, but only the mysql database is not visible on new server. I am unsure if the same got copied to new server.
i use Adaptec 2200s with three scsi HD to do raid,
it is install centos with cpanel.
after rebooting,it can not load into the raid5 well,
and shows no logical drivers... and no operation system found.
i try to add new hd,but it still do not build and run.
i think it may the raid5 configuation on the three HDs are missing are ger problem or it will not work at all.
i want to ask,if a use another three hds with the Adaptec 2200s to set another raid5.
and build another one server.
and i mount the old first one HD from the old raid5 and mount the new first one HD from the new raid5,
and copy the files from old ones to the new ones.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI'd like to ask for some help in choosing a webhost. I want to host a website that will be a sales database. It will use a MySQL database and PHP. I will not need large amounts of disc space (I can't estimate exactly but probably less than 10GB) and relatively low amounts of bandwidth. What's important is a high uptime and security and quality bandwidth. I am very sceptical with all the webhosts offering unlimited services since I know they are overselling. Do you know of any quality webhosts suitable with the above characteristics?

Now where I am still stuck is with a webhost. Every time I locate one that sounds good (editor's picks, and such), I read the feedback comments and find tons of complaints. Can someone recommend one please. Under $10; user friendly; accepts Paypal would be very helpful. I went to get Bluehost, as an example, from some reviews I read, and then I read the feedback section. I don't think I understand the terms enough to make a choice on my own,

Many of us create websites hoping that they get a lot of hits.
How can you ensure that if your web site gets a lot of hits, that it doesn't get knocked over, that it can scale and take many hits? I am not talking about a DoS attack. I am talking about a website that gets very popular and gets a lot of hits.
I wanted to do a little poll to see what WHT users like better. Would you prefer MobileME or a WebHost? Could you also if you have the time provide a reasoning.

Now how can I move all the accounts but dont change the nameservers? I mean is it possible to have two different domain name servers pointing to each other?
Not sure if it makes sense but hopefully some expert guy will get to the bottom of it

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm getting ready to upgrade my site to Joomla and am learning all these things about security issues. For example, the register globals on my webserver is turned on and I can't turn it off unless I go to a dedicated server and pay 3X per month of what I'm paying now. And there's other things too about this particular webhost.
Just wondering if anyone can give any input from experience on who is a good webhost for a Joomla site with regards to security, etc.
