2.0.1 is mainly just a bug fix release.
"Navigate to the page in your forum that updates your database (this will not work if you did not sign in as UserID = 1)"
... but in my phpBB forum (from whom I'm tryin' to switch) the user with ID=1 doesn't exist. I've cancelled it and made like admin the user number 2. How can I solve this?
And for forums I searched for an addon to flag forum post .But I didn't find any addon for that.
Thanks.
There are lots of ways of doing this. I'm taking a guess here and assuming you have an ssh server setup on your linux box? If so then scp or sftp are my preferred ways of doing it.
If you're copying from a linux machine, to a linux machine, then from the cli use the following..
scp < filename > < username >@< remotehost >:
where filename is the name of the file you want to copy, username is the username on the remote host, and remotehost is the server you're copying files to. Don't forget the ':' at the end of the command as otherwise you'll just make a local copy of the file instead.
you can also use scp for multiple files, or multiple directores of files as follows...
scp * < username >@< remotehost >:
Will copy all files in current directory to remote host.
scp -r * < username >@< remotehost >:
will copy all files recursively from the current directory.
If you're copying from a windows machine to a linux machine then it's possible to use scp but it's much easier to just install filezilla or some other ftp client that supports sftp and enter the username, password, and hostname as normal, and for the port number put in 22.

My apologies for hijacking the thread.
Sounds to me like scp is doing exactly what it's supposed to, which is to copy files securely from one location to another be it on the same file system, or in this case a remote filesystem.
Assuming it's an upgrade of version 2.0 then just follow the directions in the original post and copy the files over the existing files.
