HI, I would like to know how to move attachments from an specific forum to another location. I need to know how to select and move only the attachments from 1 forum.

I had X forum in website A, I copied the forum X to website B, but now I need to move the attachments. They are in disk storage.

Thanks

You cannot just grab attachments from one forum. They are stored in the file system by userid - who created attachment. You should move the attachments into the database and then copy the forum.

I have 750gb of attachments.

Oh, well.... wow... and I thought my 12GBs was a lot! lol

You may want to ask the guys at vb.com about this cuz they probably have a lot more experience with dealing with users importing boards/forums (they have a forum just for that - assuming you used impex?).

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
