There isnt any documentation inside the UBB6 manual. My UBB 6 just got suspended and would like to move to a new server. I do not mind losing all my post, i just need to know how to move over the members files.

Thanks - urgent

Just make sure you move your entire "Members" directory over when you move to the new server. That will keep your member files intact.

So i just install a new UBB6 at the new server & upload the existing Members folder in ASCII?

Need to CHMOD anything?

Well if you TAR your Members directory you can tell it to keep the permissions, but they should be set to 777 if you have to set them again on the Members directory.

Login thru telnet to your ubb main dir.
At the prompt type:

tar cfpvz filename.tar.gz *

This will make a single file containing all your ubb files, dir's coding etc..

Once finished download it to your computer, then upload it to your new server.

Next type log into your new server thru telnet, and type:

tar xfpvz filename.tar.gz

This will recreate all your dir's files etc, and best of all your coding should be intact. One thing to check on is if you used 777 on your old server make sure your new one allows it to, otherwise you'll need to re-code to 755 the proper files.

Hope this helps,
