Critical file transfer error

#1 Post by jamie12 » 2023-07-03 09:47

Hello,

I want to move my website from one hosting provider to another. I've been downloading all files via filezilla in order to upload them at the new provider.
I've been getting error messages concerning only one file, "wp-config.php". See logs below. Changing permissions has not worked. Can anyone help?

Status: Starting download of /web/website/wp-config.php
Command: CWD /web/website
Response: 250 CWD command successful
Command: TYPE A
Response: 200 Type set to A
Command: EPSV
Response: 229 Entering Extended Passive Mode (|||18769|)
Command: RETR wp-config.php
Response: 550 wp-config.php: Permission denied
Error: Critical file transfer error
Status: Disconnected from server

You lack permission to transfer the file. If you cannot change the permissions yourself, you need to contact your server administrator or server hosting provider for further assistance.
