from cloud to FTP

[JesperRasmussen]

Hi

Fairly new to the prestashop concept, so bear with me.

I've configured a simple shop, for internal use at my office. As I would like to configure the CCS a bit, to change some colours, I've made room for the site on my private FTP server and, naturally bought a domain.

Is it possible to transfer the configuration from the cloud based version of Prestashop to the version installed on a FTP server?
And... When the shop is installed on the FTP, will the backoffice part remain as it is on the cloud version.

Best regards,

Jesper

No, it is not possible to transfer your FTP from Cloud to another Server. You don't have full access to FTP on cloud and also not to your database.

 

This questions was mede for several times here in the forum. See for ex. discussion here: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/402457-can-i-move-in-the-future-from-cloud-to-an-external-hosting/

What you can do, is to import your products and categories by csv, if you have one. This is the only way to transfer existing data to PS cloud.

Thanks for the answer.
I did try to export the sql database and import it to the FTP, but it created an issue with the username, and I lost access to the shop.

I'll just do it all again....

You cannot import an SQL to FTP. There is no sense for so. Databases should be imported/exported to phpMyAdmin. These are complete different features.

 

FTP = File Transfer Protocol, or better said. FTP is where all your folders and files (php, html, jpg, etc) are contained and managed. phpMyAdmin where you manage your SQL database.

I know...
I did use phpMyAdmin.
What I meant was that i took the sql from the cloud version and moved it to the ftp version - through phpMyAdmin
