Hi,

I have a website on a remote server. I am in the process of changing the server and will be migrating the data. I have some photos stored on the old server in binary form. I have no idea of the location where they are stored. I would like to download them on my PC as a backup measure just incase the migration goes wrong. I can view the photos one at a time on my website and download them but they are like around 500. Is there anyway i can do it at one shot. Please help.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Roopa.

You can do a mysql dump on the db and get a db backup wth the photos in it, however, you will not be able to view them. Short of writing a program to extract them your only other option is to download them one by one.

Sorry but I'm no expert in this field, but what about an FTP backup of the root folder?
