How can I zip one file with Shell and move it
Posted by Hawi, 12-29-2007, 09:49 AM Hi I have a question ... How can I zip one file with Shell and move it to another account on the same server. also, how can I copy a database from one account to another one on the same server. thank you.
Posted by NEXCS-Greg, 12-29-2007, 12:08 PM If you're only moving one file, you shouldn't need to zip it...just move it from one account to the other: mv /path/to/file.ext /path/to/new/account/file.ext If the new account has a different owner than the one you're moving it from, make sure to chown the file to the new account user. As for the database, you could either use a tool like phpmyadmin to export the database and then use it again to import that file to the new database, or you could do it on command line: mysqldump -Q --opt -u username -p databasename > backup.sql to export it to a file named backup.sql mysql -u username -p newdatabase < backup.sql to import it to the new database.
