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

Re: Changing Computers
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. -
Re: Changing Computers
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.Comment

Re: Changing Computers
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.Comment

Re: Changing Computers
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).Comment

Re: Changing Computers

Re: Changing Computers
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.Comment
