#1

My fellow members of this CS-Cart community,



I am in proces of moving one cs-cart installation from one server to another and while doing so I am downloading all the files in the root folder of our website (/public_html/…).



Now all seems to going wel except for the folder public_html/var/…



This folder / directory is huge in this case I just question if I really need all the files in this directory and what files I can simply either delete or skip when downloading.



Please look at the screenshot of my /var/ directory and tell me where to cherry pick or not when downloading.

You can skip the following directories without any problems:


  • cache
  • cache_
  • __cache
  • database
  • upgrade



    We do not recommend to skip other folders

Now I can start the process of moving the cs-cart installation according to plan.

Hi



I just had another question. These files / directories that you mentioned. Can I delete them all the same ?

The “database” one contains all database dumps. If you do not need them, delete the directory.



The “upgrade” one contains information about previous upgrades. If you do not plan to revert upgrades in the future, delete the directory.



Other directories can be deleted at any time

After getting rid of the folders you don't need, Zip each folder up on the server and download as one file, it will cut the transfer time down by 10 to 100 times.
