Thread: Changing Computers

I need some very detailed help on how to get to my Blue Voda Website files so I can get everything onto my new computer. I did get Blue Voda downloaded but I have absolutely no idea how to get to my files so I can make changes on my website. Thank you in advance for all of your help. My website is www.keymansecurity.com

Try the method discussed here (since your website is already published) > http://www.vodahost.com/vodatalk/gen...bvp-files.html and if need be, do a Forum Search to find another method you may prefer to follow!

The "Long Way" is to copy every folder from your old computer (like your entire "Blue Voda" and whatever folder has your images --- and everything within those folders) exactly as they are to your new computer --- thus preserving the paths of each element. You may need to re-publish a page or two, depending if the images are still formatted the same as originally published, but since the server knows what images go where, it will have no problem dutifully populating your pages.

If you still have your bluevoda folder on your old computer then you can copy the folder to your new computer. (usb to usb or memory stick etc.)

You may have to re-establish the image links unless you can create the exact same file structure as your old computer.

Ok - but I still don't understand how to "get" to the bvp files I need. I have gone into the c-panel and looked but I am not sure what it is I'm looking at.

I thought I still had my folders on my old computer but I must have deleted them. I deleted all of my files before giving the computer to my daugher (I know - I shouldn't have deleted them until I was sure).

The only files on your website are html files.

BV files are on your computer........do you still have them?

If, in fact as you say you deleted your files, then the method I mentioned first is what you should use to "recover" your files and pages.

You should also manually "repopulate" your other folders by copying down your images (you will see them with your original Titles) and individual elements (seen i.e. as "bv1013") via Blue FTP Manager to make it easier to have more resources available to you as you re-publish or add new pages.

Ok you will have to import all the html files into your BV on your new computer...........

Here is a step by step visual tutorial on how to import a html page into your bluevoda

If you have not emptied your recycle bin on your old computer then you can try the undelete function......just a thought.
