Transmit for S3 lets you migrate media files from one server to another easily and with no downtime.
Often, the worst thing about site migration is transferring over the media files. Moving these to new servers, or transferring files from your local/development environment, can be slow and clunky. Fortunately, Transmit for S3 gives you an easier way, with no downtime.
1. Install and set up Transmit for S3 on your site on its current server – our step-by-step guide walks you through linking to your S3 bucket.
2. Bulk transmit your media files to the S3 site with one click (requires Transmit Premium for S3).
3. Move your core WordPress files as normal to your new server.
And that’s it! When you make your new site live, the media files will magically appear. It’s as smooth as late-night jazz.
