Hi there, a question to Plesk Migrator

1. To login to source server I need a root login, but If the source is on a shared server I have no root access?

2. To login to source server there are two options of Authorization
User / password or SSH keys.

If I choose password it is the Root Password of the SOURCE server, according to this.
specify the SSH port as well (22 by default), the login and password of a root user on the source server.

But if I choose SSH, it is the SSH key on TARGET server, how does that make sense?

Hello,

1. Perhaps admin login also works but im not 100% certain about that.

2. You can find more info about the migrator and the ssh option here:

Authentication by SSH (Linux)

To connect to the source server by SSH: Make sure that an RSA key pair without a passphrase exists on the target Pl...

Kind Regards,

The Plesk migrator needs Root access to the source server. If your source server is a shared hosting server for which you don't have root access, then the Plesk migrator is not the right tool to use. A better tool to use would be the Plesk Site Import Extension.
