Migrating a Web Server to IIS 5.0

Replicating Windows-Based Files

You can copy files and directories between two Windows-based computers by using FTP, a serial connection, or the rcp utility that comes with the Windows 2000 operating system, or by creating a shared directory and copying the files across your local area network (LAN).

Keep in mind that a simple file copy and paste operation does not preserve some file data, such as security configuration, hyperlinks, and share information. The following topics discuss some methods of preserving file data.

• Preserving Permissions and Audit Settings
• Preserving Hyperlinks and Web Structure
• Preserving Share Information
