Mass-moving files for migration
Permalink
Hi everyone :)
I'm in the process of moving my old Concrete5 5.6.3.3 to the latest version. Since there's no possibility to do an in-place update, I'm trying to use the migration tools from Github.
Thing is, my website has a lot of images. And by a lot, I mean that if I want to use the migration tools to 'check' all the images for download, the page just freezes :P
Is there a way I can just upload all the files using FTP to a certain folder or something? This would be really great, so I can just mass-move all the images and files.
For your information: I have not moved the database, since the database runs on an old version of Concrete5 and cannot imagine this is supported.
Any tips? :)

The problem with this option is that I can only put files in that directory, not the contents of my current /files folder. So the 'incoming' directory does not work recursively. Since I have multiple files with the same name, this doesn't really work. Also with this option, I don't think my new C5 installation knows which sets images belong to.
You can migrate your site in 'parts' (by selecting pages for migration) instead of migrating all in one time. This worked for me.
Yes, I have been trying to do it in parts :)
But it's still too much :(

/application/files/incoming
Then, you can use the file manager to import them. Click the "more options" link at the top right, then you should see a list of files under "incoming".
Hope that helps.
