Is thier a easy way to copy a account to another domain in cpanel? I want to take all the folders from sitea.com and move it to siteb.com I can do it threw SSH and tar and unpack but i wanted to keep the file permissions and such. Any ideal =) I see he transfer from server to server but not a copy account.

Thanks!

You should be able to retain the permissions with the '-p' option in tar.

CODE

tar -czvpf archive.tar.gz /path/to/folder/*

Then move the archive into the new folder and untar it.

CODE

cd /path/to/newfolder/

tar -xzvpf archive.tar.gz
