It is not possible to accurately move a Zope site from one host to another using only FTP. Zope's FTP interface does not convey all properties/metadata of objects. It will pick up the bulk text content of DTML Documents and put them onto the new site, but little else. FTP -is- a pretty good way to migrate a non-Zope site, where the files come across as DTML Documents, and then you can edit/embellish them with Zopeisms. But then, if you have access to the files of the old site, the best way is load_site.py. It would seem the absolute best way, would be via some kind of WebDAV-based mirroring tool, about which I've heard no mention. I know little about WebDAV but it would seem to most accurately convey Zope's metadata btw sites. Has anyone started working on this? On Mon, 22 Nov 1999 00:23:25 +0100 (CET), Alexander Limi wrote:

As a beginner, I don't know if this will work, but you can access Zope as an FTP site on port 8021, and find the objects in the DB as files.
Maybe that property is of any use? I haven't tried this myself, but feedback on whether it is possible to move the contents of the DB or not this way would be most welcome.
