[cobalt-users] Transfering a Site to a RAQ3i



I hope this question is appropriate to the list.

I have a couple small sites on my RAQ3i and it seems to be working fine. Now I would like to work to move my primary site over to the RAQ3i.

This site contains thousands of pages in dozens of directories and probably hundreds of sub directories.

In Windows there is a program called WS FTP that will duplicate directory structures so basically if I say "GET" it all, it will put everything over to the new system into proper folders. However I have not seemed to find anything that will do that in UNIX ... am I just missing it? I was told that ncftp would do it, but after I installed it, it appears that it will not take and duplicate directory structures.

Another alternative although not a very good one for me (because of my extremely slow connection here) is to down load the entire site to my local machine (from my current ISP) and then re upload it the RAQ3i. I hate the idea of doing this ... but even more so, I hate the idea of manually creating and transferring 100s of directories worth of data ... it would be nice to click one button and have all of the mkdir commands and transfers to the RAQ done automatically ... does that make sense? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Christopher
