Good morning everyone
I have a transfer quagmire today. Normally I would just telnet into the old server and make a tarball of the old files and then telnet into the new server and do a ftp get of the tarball and it would be moved at whatever size pipes the two servers where connected usually in just a few minutes.
For some strange reason the old server will not let me make a tarball big enough to hold all the files.
To make matters worse the old webmaster used FrontPage with the Frontpage extensions and the site is one giant big mess of duplicated random files thrown all over the place in many different directories all over the place. My FTP program can do server to server transfers but chokes on this big mess and as you may or may not know the command line FTP only does files not directories so you have to make a tarball or gzip file or something first which the old server doesn't want to do.
