Ashocka is on a distinguished road
Copying One CPanel Account to Another on Different Servers

I believe there is a tool to do this easily, where the whole configuration/everything is copied, but I can't find it in the documentation. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Geoff

These options are under the "Transfers" section of the left menu in WHM. I believe there is a warning not to use that tool for sites over 250MB, so be careful.

There isn't any real warning....
I was using the tool for my site +- 1500Mb Mysql and none of the tools worked. Then I tried the multiacount copy (it's only 1 site) and it worked after 2 attempts, lovely!

From the page in WHM:
Quote:
This feature REQUIRES ideal conditions on the remote server. The remote server must have ftp running, a working copy of perl, cgi enabled, and a STANDARD unmodified cPanel configuration. The remote server admin can easier prevent this type of copy from working if they choose since this does not require any type of privileged access. If any of these are turned off this will fail. This feature is not recommended for copying account over 250 megabytes. It should only be used as a last resort when you do not have the root password to the remote server.
This is for the second option, transferring from one account to another with password (which I assumed was the requested function). If Ashocka has root access to both servers, then the first option should work and is much less "fragile".

Moving accounts

If someone is moving from a reseller account to a dedicated server of their own, is there a way to move your accounts from the server you are a reseller to the new dedicated server you have root?

In otherwards, do I have to have admin/root access on both the from and to server or can it be done using the account name and password from the old server to the new server?

Thanks!

I'm sure there is a way, but why would you want to? The username and password are required to transfer, and if they have that they could do pretty much anything with that account anyway.

I just want to block other companies from getting my clients. Because they offer a cheap price and my clients go away. So blocking it will make more dificult to they to copy the accounts and it will retain my clients. Many others companies do it already.

How sweet.... Then you client does a backup and restore without your help. You can not hold your clients for ransom. Some leave and others come. If you price it right you will not have the problem. If this happens to you a lot, maybe you need to lower your prices?
