How Do I Transfer/Migrate An Account Using cpmove?

You can transfer/migrate an account using cpmove by performing the following steps:

1. Connect to the old server via an SSH terminal
2. Run this command with cpanelusername being the username that you want to package and move
   
   
   /scripts/pkgacct cpanelusername

   1	/scripts/pkgacct cpanelusername

    
3. An FTP or SFTP client can be used to perform the transfer, or you can choose to do it with rsync from SSH via the following command
   
   
   rsync -vrplogDtH -e “ssh -p PORT#DESTSERVER” /home/cpmove-CPANELUSERNAME.tar.gz root@TARGETIP:/home/cpmove-CPANELUSERNAME.tar.gz

After transferring, connect the destination server with an SSH terminal then run the following for each one of the accounts you wish to restore on the new server.
