When I use WHM Transfer Tool to copy an account from server to server I see this in the transfer log:

Code:
Homedir
Streaming Homedir from source server…
Use of uninitialized value $_ in transliteration (tr///) at bin/whm_xfer_download-ssl.pl line 102.
receiving incremental file list
sent 458.35K bytes received 2.25G bytes 39.19M bytes/sec
total size is 2.25G speedup is 1.00
…100 % …
Homedir
Homedir restored
Is that anything to worry about?
cPanel/WHM v82.0.16 in both servers.

Hi @quietFinn


Does the transfer complete successfully? I have seen this in some instances where it is associated with CageFS
It seems to complete successfully, but I am just doing test transfers now, planning to transfer all accounts this weekend.
Both servers do have CloudLinux & CageFS.

I'm thinking about this and the more I think about it, just to ensure that everything is good before you do your transfer, I think I'd like to request you open a ticket so we can take a look at the server.

Apparently you only get that error if the destination server's Transfer Tool uses a wheel group user to connect to the source sever, and then su to root.
If the Transfer Tool connects as root you don't get that error.
The error does not cause any problems with the migration process.
