FTP ServU Userbase

[BearCat]

Hi
In a test network, we have 3 different FTP-ServU 2.5x running, with encrypted passwords.
now the time has comed to merge these 3 userbases, and maybe move to a different FTP program.

The problem is : it's WAY to many users to do this manually, and I'm looking for a tool that
will let me export the user bases, and add them all to 1 base,
that in turn should be imported into a new server proggy.

While testing, I have been able to do a "upgrade" into ServU 4.x on one of them,
but that wont let me import the other 2.

So, any inputs are appreciated, could be some nifty little utill out there,
or a FTP server prog, able to import all my 3 bases.

May the FTP god's be with us, on this search for the holy grail

hey BC
this is just a thought,
but servU keeps it database in ServuDaemon.ini (v4), you could try to upgrade all 3, one at a time (so all 3 servers use same format in .ini file making everything smooth as possible ), then rename (1 at a time also) each to a diferent domain/server, and finally, just copy-paste from the 3 .ini files their domain/users section to only 1 .ini and test it (maybe) in a new server install (offcourse with full backups of everysingle1 before messing with it

maybe this is not so clear cause of my english, lol

just an ideia, dunno if it will work fine tho,
but if it's a large users database in each server, it sure is worth to try

also, servU is very popular, as you know
and many ftp servers develop companys are offering tools to import the servu user DB to a different server proggy,
maybe could try to contact the company of the future serv prog you want to use

Hola nnuxx, mi amigo
You have a good idea, and I migt just do it that way,
upgrading each setup, then merge the inifiles.

Lets see what I'm able to do, without violating any sofware licences,
if/when I have time for this test.

The only prog ur gonna be able to upgrade to is Serv-U...since passes are encrypted ( MD5 I believe in Serv-U ), there's no way anything will be able to read them.

It seems like I *might* be able to import the userbase into RaidenFTPd

Anyone who has tried this utillity and/or the Raiden FTP deamon and have any hints for me ?
