Migrating settings and user db

Post by brunis »

Hi,

We are switching servers and i tried to just zip up the CoreFTPServer folder and transfer it to our new server, but start CoreFTP server up, everything is blank.

How would i export the user database so i can maintain users and passwords.

I dont need the main settings, that is just a 2 min. setup. But obviously i dont save users passwords and keep them in cleartext, so what to do?

regards
Dennis

Try pointing to the configuration in the global settings.

Core FTP Server - Sysem menu - Global settings

Select the config.dat in the installation directory (or wherever you may have placed it).

Ok, great, that worked. Not sure what i did wrong before.

But now for the license, how do i unregister the old CoreFTP Server license, so i can register it on the new server? (i might have asked this in a seperate post also).
