Resolved Plesk Migrator - Can't get it to work

Harm Jakob Tolsma

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
Plesk Obsidian 18.0.44 Update #3
I'm trying to move a few sites using the Plesk Migrator, but can't get it to work.
The IP-addresses below are not real (obviously).

Server A (target):
- IP: 1.2.3.4
- Has '4.3.2.1' listed under 'IP Access Restriction Management' (Denied from networks that are not listed)
- 'enabled = on' is in panel.ini under '[api]'
- No 'ip filter' or 'allowedIPs' under [api]
- 'telnet 4.3.2.1 8443' connects without error

Server B (source):
- IP: 4.3.2.1
- Has '1.2.3.4' listed under 'IP Access Restriction Management' (Denied from networks that are not listed)
- 'enabled = on' is in panel.ini under '[api]'
- No 'ip filter' or 'allowedIPs' under [api]
- 'telnet 1.2.3.4 8443' connects without error

What can I do to get the Migrator working?
 
On your target server, also add the IP of the target server in the access restrictions list (so that the target server can connect to itself)
