Could I rebuild the pages on a new server?
I've read every single post that I can find in the FAQ about moving links to a new server. I've also searched these forums, but I can't find the answer so here is the question. I'd like to move links to a new server (nothing new there). I don't want to ftp and copy all of the directories onto the new server. Could I replace these files on my new server:

links.db
categories.db
email.db
modified.db

and rebuild the pages on the new server? Is this possible? Are there any files which I'm missing or should add? Thank you!

Well you will obviously need to upload the Links2 files to the new server like nph-build.cgi, db_utils.pl, db.pl etc..... to enable you to build. But yes, you can just transfer the /data directory and it will rebuild properly........oh and the templates as well.

Ok perfect. I've already got links installed on the new server. I thought this was an easy question, just wanted to make sure though. Thanks!
