To perform the migration you must follow a few simple steps:
- Generate an API Key on your Source CWP server.
- CWP Settings >> API Manager
(You can click on the CWP to CWP button and you will have the necessary options selected.)
- CWP Settings >> API Manager
- For the correct operation of this tool you must open port 2304 in the firewall of Source/Destination server.
- Security >> CSF Firewall
- Open SSH port of the destination server if other than 22 in the firewall.
- Whitelist destination IP address.
Source server (Old Server)
To create a connection to your remote/source CWP server first you must generate an API Key on your Source CWP server, To create an API key/token, use API Manager (CWP Settings >> API Manager). You can click on the CWP to CWP button and you will have the necessary options selected.
Log in to the CWP panel.
-
First check your SSH port
- Go to Services config > SSH Configuration
- Or login to terminal and check
vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config

- Go to #Allow incoming TCP ports and add your port. In my case Port 2251 and extra port for migration 2304
# Allow incoming TCP ports TCP_IN = "20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,465,587,993,995,2030,2031,2082,2083,2086,2087,2095,2096,2304,2251" # Allow outgoing TCP ports TCP_OUT = "20,21,22,25,53,80,110,113,443,2030,2031,2082,2083,2086,2087,2095,2096,587,993,995,2080,2443,2304,2251"

- If everything ok, restart Firewall from the top of the menu.
-
Go back and add your Destination IP to whitelist.
- Firewall Whitelist configuration > Add an entry add the Destination IP (New IP) and restart the firewall.
- Note that if you whitelist IP you need not open port in all cases except Amazon S3, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure or etc.
