Stormix / MovingTool

Just a handy tool used to move files from server to server.

MovingTool

This tool is one of the most handy tools I've ever built , it helped me move +1000 Website from host to host , usually , when I build something for my clients , it's under https://Stormix.co/Projects/PROJECTNAME but when the clients likes it , I'de usually need to move it to a his host and for some websites the size can go up to +100 MB ( and even more, I had to move a 2GB website once..), which is tiring to download & re-upload via FTP (Especially if you have a slow internet connection like mine).
So I built this tool , I only need to compress all the files, add a direct download link of that zip to the PHP file and let it handle the rest.
That's it !

If you have problems, first search for a similiar issue and then report with new one.

Installation

Just upload the move.php file to where your want your files move. (For example, if you want to move a website from SERVER1 to SERVER2 , upload move.php to SERVER2)

Configuring the tool

1. Open the php file with your favorite code editor .
2. Go to line : 24

//Config Me
$path = 'dummy.jpg'; //The path where to save the downloaded file.
$url = 'https://stormix.co/dummy.jpg'; //The file to download

3. Replace ** dummy.jpg ** with the path where to save the downloaded file.
   Replace ** https://stormix.co/dummy.jpg ** with a direct link to the file you want to download.

NOTE: - This tool doesn't handle the database migration , it just move files , you'll need to do that manually.

How to use

Let's say you want to move Example1.com to Example2.com

1. Open your CPanel and go to your file manager, inside the folder public_html are your websites files.
2. Compress all those file into a single ZIP file. (You can do that on most CPanels)
3. Rename that zip file to whatever you want , backup.zip for example
4. On your PC , open move.php with your favorite code editor and changes lines 24&26.
   

$path = 'backup.zip'; //The path where to save the downloaded file.
$url = 'http://example1.com/backup.zip'; //The file to download

5. Now upload move.php to your new website "example2.com" inside the public_html folder.
6. Open your browser , and visit this url : http://example2.com/move.php . NOTE: - Large files will take time to move , so don't close the windows until you see this :
   
7. When it's done , go to the file manager and extract the Zipped file & THAT'S IT !
