I'm curious as I am in need of advice on how I can move a site from an old
Win 2K server, to it's new home on a Win 2003 server, without having to mess
around with downloading/uploading the file's (there's over 30,000
file's/folders, so it would take forever to do it manually).

Thus, anyone have any idea on how one would proceed with doing this? (I've
heard of an ASP script thats capable of this, but can't seem to locate it).

TIA

Do you have file share access to both servers?  If so, you can use xcopy, go
out for dinner, and check on it later.

If you only have FTP access to either, you're pretty limited in what you can
do, I think.

will their server allow you to create a ZIP?
toss up a page to zip the site, then on your new server toss up a page to
get the zip and run the command line unzip. This of course assumes it's
setup to allow this on the servers....

Steven...

You can create a new project with Visual Studio, synchronize and then upload
to a new site.  However, using a GUI FTP client should offer roughly the
same capabilities to iterate folders.  WS_FTP does but you would have to
copy it locally first, I believe and of course you could do that with
Explorer.  The only time consuming task would be if you have different
authorization for different folders under the web root.

I usually work in master mode with Visual Studio so I always have a copy and
if I need to move to a new site, I just create a new project for the new
site, and upload the files, creating folders automatically.

Curt,
Alas it appears not :o( (I've been trying to get this added for some
time as it would make it much easier to back the site's up aswell..........
but they won't add it for some reason).

Roland,
Thats basically what I ws thinking too. I'm going to go through my
300+ magazine cover CD's in a few, to see if I can find a copy of either
WS_FTP, SmartFTP, or CuteFTP (only one's I know of that can handle this kind
of thing properly....... without screaming at me, lol).

Cheers :o)

Well if this will help, ipswitch makes ws_ftp and you can probably get a
30-day eval.  It didn't used to be crippled.  It also has resume which can
definitely come in handy.
