If there is no SSH access to the old server, but only an FTP connection, the site’s files can be copied manually from Seravo.com with the following command.
wget -rl0 -nc -nH -nv "ftp://user:[email protected]:/public_html/wp-content"
FTP does not use a secure connection and the username/password is visible in the network without encryption. If the service provider does not have SSH and SFTP connection, stop using the service as soon as possible.
Because a database export cannot be done from the command line without an SSH connection, it must be done manually with e.g. Adminer, PHPMyAdmin, or a similar tool. The selection of tools depends on the old service provider.
For servers, which only have an FTP connection available, the WP Migrate Lite plugin can be used for copying the database. After this, the database is easy to move to Seravo.com with the wp db import command.
First you need to reset the current (usually empty) database. Remember to take a backup if you are importing the database to an existing site.
wp db reset --yes
After the reset, you can import the database.
wp db import /data/db/wordpress-db.sql
We recommend the All-In-One WP Migration and Backup plugin for the migration because you can download all files and databases combined in just one file.
