need help moving old page to new server

[thea]

can anyone help me moving my old web page to my new server?

Generally a very simple process. You should have all your site files on your local computer -- no reason not to -- in which case it's just a matter of uploading them to the new server and changing any paths if necessary. If you don't already have the files on your computer, then you need to first download them from the old server.

When I can, having a lowly 56k modem, I tar and gzip the files and FTP straight from one server to the other.

The easiest way to is use ftp as another user suggested. Run a search via google.com or another engine to find, download, unzip and install the ftp free software of your choice. Once you have the software installed, it's pretty self-explanatory, even for newbies like me. :)

Alternatively, if you're not yet comfortable with ftp and are used to using the upload tools common to free webhosts such as Geocities, you might like to use the very similar upload tool that your CNC provides. To access the CNC, in your browser's url address bar, type the url of your site, e.g.
http://www.yoursite.com
and add /CNC on the end like this:
http://www.yoursite.com/CNC

The control panel will pop up a sign in box, and once you've completed that, go to the file manager and at the bottom of the page in the combo box, you will find an option to upload files. Easy peesy.

The only important thing to remember is to upload the files to the WWW folder, otherwise they won't be visible in the browser.

How to do this:
Once you have accessed the CNC by typing http://www.yoursite.com/CNC into the url address bar, you login as normal, and then click 'file manager.'
Then, under the heading 'Filequest' you should see a combo box reading "-Recent Folders-" beside a "Go" button.
Under that again, you should see a line reading something like:
"Index of /big/dom/yoursite:"
Under that, there should be a list of all the folders in your account, including one named "WWW."
Click on the name "WWW."
The "index of" line should change to now read "Index of /big/dom/yoursite/WWW:" and the list of folders and files underneath will change to reflect whatever has been uploaded to the WWW folder.
(FutureQuest add some files, such as a 404.html file, to the WWW folder when they are setting it up, so there should be some contents.)
Check that the "index of... " line reads /WWW at the end, and then go and upload your files, and they will be uploaded into the folder WWW and be visible in the browser.

Once you have finished that, if you want to move out of the WWW folder, just click on one of the other folders listed in the "Index of..." line and you will go there, and the list of folders and files underneath will change to reflect the contents of whatever folder you are currently in.

By the way, if you have accidentally uploaded the files into the wrong folder, as I did the first time I tried to upload files, it's easy to fix. Just change directory/folder using the same method described above to the one you uploaded the files into (probably /big/dom/yoursite) and delete them. The delete command is in the same place as the upload one.

Hope this helps. :)
