By default, website import is performed in simple mode. In simple mode,
you only need to specify the source website’s domain name and the
username and password of the FTP or SSH user that has access to the
source website’s files. Plesk tries to automatically detect and apply
optimal settings for the import.
Note: Importing via SSH is much faster than via FTP. We recommend that you
import content via SSH if possible.
To start importing content in simple mode:
-
Make sure that the Site
Import
extension is installed. -
Go to Websites & Domains, select the domain you want to use as
the target for importing content, and then click Website
Importing.
-
Specify the domain name of the website you want to import content
from in the “Source domain name” field. -
Specify the username and password of an FTP or SSH (Plesk for Linux
only) user on the source server that has access to the source
website’s files. -
Select the “Speed up file transfer by using web streaming (beta) when
possible” checkbox if you want to import a large number of small
files, or if you suspect that the import may be interrupted (for
example, because of unstable Internet connection or insufficiently
large PHP maximum execution time). Selecting the checkbox enables
Plesk to resume interrupted import instead of starting over.Note: This feature is still in beta, so only select the checkbox if you
do not mind potentially encountering bugs in exchange for
increased import speed. -
Click OK.
Plesk will try connecting to the source website and scanning it for
content. If the connection is successful, select one or more objects of
the following types types to import:
-
Applications
-
Folders
-
Databases
