Hello,
I have a fullbackup from my old cpanel (mavenhosting).
I want to restaur it.
I have now a server by GANDI, and i put cpanel and WHM

I read that i have to put the fullbackup on the /home dictories, but i can't because, i don't found a ftp acces to put it there.
I creat new user, with ftp access, but my acces only go there : /home/username/

How can i have full acces to / or /home ????

How ca, i put my backup in good place ?
Tanks you
Nicolas

You can't. You need root access for that, and you need root access to restore a full backup.
Contact your hosting provider, they can restore the account.

cPanel offer most convenient method to do cPanel to cPanel transfer.
Login to your new server WHM and navigate to:
Home >> Transfer
Now regarding FTP, you cannot use FTP protocol. You need to login using SFTP.
In filezilla ,
File >> Site manager
and select SFTP as protocol.

Hello,

Yes, You can restore your account backup from your user home directory with the root user access.

First upload your backup file in your user home directory (/home/username/) and then access your server through SSH with the root user and try to execute the following command

Code:
/scripts/restorepkg /home/username/BACKUP_FILE_NAME.tar.gz
