We could manually transfer them for you, open a ticket.

Yes, FXP is a FTP client that does server to server transfers. I never was able to get that to work when I tried using it a year back.

Ok, thanks ill put a ticket in..

-not going to be too much data now anyhow I just found AWStats using nearly 200mb for its archive.

FWIW - I use a little utility/FTP client “Window Commander 5.0” it is a file-manager per se that let’s you connect to multiple ftp servers and even transfers between two remote server connections. A neat little feature is that it lets you syncronize folders too.

I guess its now called Total commander with an updated version 6.03a

The Microsoft FTP server doesn’t allow for FXP, that’s why you couldn’t get it to work :stuck_out_tongue:

FXP requires the server to allow data connections from a different IP than the accompanying control connection is from. Some servers disallow this for security.

Thank you for informing me :slight_smile: I guess I should have asked one of our Windows admins back then instead of wasting time with FXP :slight_smile:
