Hi guys! I'm in desperate need of some help with telnet. We're going to be moving to the vservers Ultra plan this week. Short of FTPing all the website down to my hard drive and back up again, I have no idea of how to move the site. (And doing it that way is a collasal PITA.)
I know it's possible to use telnet to tarball the whole thing up and move it to the new server, but I haven't the foggiest on how to do it. I need a tutorial on how to use telnet to do the things I need to do, or someone willing to show me. I'm simply sick thinking that Kathy and I will have to FTP all of this stuff down from the server and then FTP it all back .... changing all the permissions on our cgi files and stuff, too, when I know it took the last webhost about an hour to move everything from one server to the other using telnet. (and we were using about 120 MB of space at the time with the UBB)
Can anyone help me?
