I got a new computer-now what?

[rdensford]

I just got a new computer and need some help getting my files to my desktop to do some updating on my site. I downloaded the Blue Voda software (obviously :)) but now I need to know how to put all my webpages in my file. Can anyone help me with that?? Thanks!

What exactly do you need to do? Please be as specific as possible.

rdensford,
I guess you want to transfer your bluevoda work from your old computer to the new one?
There are many ways and the simpliest way is to backup your work using cd burn and restore the files into your new computer.

I need to go to my file manager and retrieve my files so I can edit them as needed. I have Blue Voda downloaded, but don't know how to get my files from my file manager in control panel to my blue voda program on my pc. how do i put them on a cd from the control panel? thanks for your help.

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't know how to burn a cd from control panel. when i back up the files, will i get the option to save it to a cd? i'm new at this and only know enough to be dangerous!
Thanks again.

When you installed BV it created a folder in your My Documetns called BV. All BV files
will be found in this folder. If you are moving the folder, please keep it intact. Do not
move files around from inside, copy the entire folder as a whole.

Ah, You are intending to extract your work from my file manager in control panel. I wouldn't dare to do that. A mistep and your whole file manager in Vodahost servers will be ruined and your website may disappear on the internet.
What I meant is to back up your Bluevoda files from your old computer to a cd using cd burn and restore them into your new computer. I used to transfer my documents from old to new computer that way.
Good luck to you

Yikes! Too late. I don't even have my old pc anymore. It "passed away". Now what? Should I fill out trouble ticket??

Thanks

Hm, I guess there is a way to copy back files from servers into your computer using blue FTP but you must know what you are doing. I never did that, so I am sorry, can't help you here:(

Re: I got a new computer-now what?

Hey I just found out a pretty safe way to get the files from servers! Just tested it with success!
-Open Bluevoda that you just downloaded
-Click file enu
-Click new page, then :from existing HTML page
-Choose option Remote (on the internet)
-Type your domain name
-Hit OK and Voila`
-Repeat for each page. Make sure to type full url of each page.
BUT REMEMBER: Don't use this way to download others' websites because it's considered "piracy".
Good luck to you
