Sebastien, Thanks for this. I tried it but I cant import any objects. You may have seen my earlier post. I get the following error on import: Error Type: cPickle.UnpicklingError Error Value: invalid load key, ' '. Even if I try to export and import just one DTML document I get this error. I am trying to move a site from one machine to another and I am now completely stumped. Import/export does not work, Moving the Data.fs does not work, FTP only works on some object types. My last choice is to manually cut and paste all 15Mb of objects - something I am not keen to do.
