Xfertool command line

[Havri]

Hello,

I would like to know if it's possible to transfer accounts using the command line. What I want to achieve is the exact same behavior as Transfer Tool from WHM after selecting the account/accounts but through the command line. Are there specific commands for the xfertool and xferpoint for this?

From what I know, the alternative steps could be something like:

1. Use this command to make an archive of the user

/scripts/pkgacct

2. Move archive to new server using SCP or anything else that does the job.
3. Use this command to restore the archive of user.

/scripts/restorepkg

4. Suspend account on the old server

/scripts/suspendacct

Please let me know if there are some steps that I've missed.

As mentioned, I would like it if it can be achieved using the xfertool and xferpoint tools directly, as these are used in the Transfer Tool through the WHM interface.


Thank you.

Yes , you can easily migrate the accounts from cpanel to cpanel using the steps that you have mentioned. You need root access to perform the steps. However as you already have easy to use Transfer Tool why you dont want to use it ?

Hello,

Yes, I could use that, although I have some questions about that. For example, do I only need to put the user in /etc/sudoers like so or does it require anything else?

mysuperuserreseller      ALL = (ALL)     ALL

Does it require that I enable Normal Shell or Jailed Shell for that user? From what I read, the user also has to be a reseller with the "All Features (Warning: total and complete access)" enabled in WHM -> Edit Reseller Nameservers and Privileges.

Also, does the "Root Escalation Method:" have to be "sudo" in the Transfer Tool?

Are there other settings that need to be tweaked for this to work?

Thank you.

Hello,

The authentication details are for the server you are connecting to in order to fetch the accounts. You'd use whatever authentication steps are required to access SSH from the destination server to the source server. Regarding the command line, we document the steps on how to do this at:

Thank you.
