In order to upgrade to Threads, my host site has created a new environment on a more up-to-date server. I have installed Threads there, while the Classic board continues to run on the old server.

The first step of the import is to enter the absolute paths to the existing Classic installation. Unfortunately, the absolute path will point me to somewhere on the current server, and NOT to the other server's data.

So I need to export the old board's data somehow, and then ftp it over to the new server. ...but then how would I import from those files?

I will appreciate some suggestions and pointers.
