moving to a new server
Hello,
i already have Links installed on a Unix server and i am going to move to a new windows NT server.
How can i transfer all my data to the new one?
Any guides?
Thanks in advance!

I've never done it, but just downloading all of your files for links 2 youu uploaded (jump.cgi, add.cgi etc, and the whole of the admin directory) should be ok.

Then just edit the links.cfg file to point to the new Windows paths, then it should work. Note, that when you do a build, you will need to re-create the folder. This may require some permissions being changed, not that sure.

Hope that helps Tongue

If you have shell access you can zip everything up:

tar -cf backup.tar /path/to/files/*

gzip backup.tar
