Transferring Domains

#1 Post by shedmaster » 2022-09-29 14:02

I am looking to switch my website domain to a new domain with a new name.
Will FileZilla will be able to do this for me by copy the files across from one to another?

I am not done it yet just want to see if this is the best tool or not

Depends on what you exactly mean by "copy the files across". You can pull the files from the old domain to your PC and then push them onto the new one, provided both offer access via FTP and/or SFTP.

Transferring directly between two servers is not supported and will prolly never be, as it cannot be done in a secure manner.
