Hi Dazzlr…. Would you mind opening up your book to the chapter that tells the answer to my dilemma and posting it here?

Thanks

You know what….I am looking at the folder I uploaded to the server. I’m thinking that I need to cherry pick what’s in the folder to upload?

Here’s what’s in it:
* iwpserver
* loader
* system
* InstantWP
* InstantWP.exe.manifest
* ReadMe

Seems like I don’t need InstantWP for sure? Others?

Is this the issue? I uploaded stuff I wasn’t suppose to?

Thanks

Thanks!…Resolved!

IT WORKED!!! Thank you for your patience with my learning curve! Greatly appreciated.

Yep, my old trusty 2001 IBM desktop has welcomed the new Samsung Series 7 Gamer to carry on the torch! All men and computers must some day give way to the newer and stronger. Nope, never had the need to transfer files to another computer, my faithful IBM’er did the job just fine on it’s Windows 2000 operating system and never complained!

Thanks again for the basic fix to use one of those little memory dudads. All of the packaging never listed them as Windows 2000 compatible and they weren’t invented yet, back in the day, so never had a need for one.

One last question please…..

Now that I have my files and Instant WordPress on the new computer, I want to finish this website on the desktop IBM old computer because I’m way more skilled on that machine. I’m just getting the hang of Windows 7 and the new look and speed and it will slow me down in the short term until I master it.

What is the easiest way, to “update” the new edits made on the old machine IW and get them updated on the new machine IW?

Or should I just do a new copy/paste like I did today and trash the older edit version each time? I know how to do this, so maybe this is the simplest way?

Thanks Again for your help!! Greatly appreciated!

??

What do I copy?

Do I just right click on whatever it is and select copy and then paste it somewhere?….then Email it to myself so I can download onto my new laptop?

I have a folder on my desktop Instant WordPress created with the following folders:
* iwserver (folder)
* loader (folder)
* system (folder)
* InstantWP
* InstantWP.exe.manifest
* ReadMe

I copied the * InstantWP file and sent it by WeTransfer.com to my email and then downloaded it onto my new laptop, but it doesn’t open on the new laptop.

I tried to upload the entire Instant WordPress folder that is on my desktop to WeTransfer.com but my computer then wants me to select a file within the folder.

I have looked at the Database section to save the Database and can’t figure out what to save per the instructions and when I selected All it resulted in an error.

On the left is:
* information_schema (28)
* mysql (17)
* phpmyadmin (7)
* server3go (1)
* wordpress (11)

In the middle is Database with all of the above but only the bottom 3 are available for checking. I selected check all and create new Database name and got the following error:

db_create.php: Missing parameter: new_db (FAQ 2.8)

I looked at the FAQ 2.8 and the solutions are way over my head.

All I want to do is copy, paste, transfer to new laptop.

Thanks in advance.

Okay, I get the basics. Thanks for the links.

I just bought a new laptop today.

What is the easiest, simplest way to get my Instant WordPress files/site onto my laptop so I can work on it from the laptop?

Will it update my edits from both machines?

What is the most simple widget to Backup my site?

Thanks
