How can I copy my website without ftp ?

[Montano]

A couple years ago I got a free website with a free site builder and such. I have put a lot into it over the last couple years and now I want to move to a new hosting company. How can I copy the website from my old host so I can upload it to my new host ?

Contact your new host and ask them to do it for you.

Many, many ways to accomplish this - ranging from simple FTP on up.

However, your new host will likely do this for you for free.

the hosting company i work for does it, as long as you have FTP access at your old site
freeservers.com

I don't know if I have ftp access or not, as I've never used ftp with this particular website. If not, can it still be done ?

 

[Montano]

Just checked and I do not have ftp access 🙁

Who currently hosts your free web site?

Which web host are you moving to?

Depending on what's available, through ssh I'd compress my public folder and either email or ftp it while still on the hosting server to the new one.

There is no way in hell he would have SSH and not FTP.

Got it.

How do you create or update your web site currently? How or where do you login?

FTP within the console, I've seen it disabled before because often times the remote server is not the same as the actual hosting server. In that case, you could email it to the new server if it was small enough (assuming you have pine or something) or you could pull it through HTTP from the destination server rather than ftp push it from the source server.

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm That sould take care of it for you.

/err wait, what are you trying to do? How do you upload files to your web site currently?
