Hello,
I am somewhat new to Ubuntu server administration and have a question about a problem I've been having. I've been trying to move a large MySQL database (12GB) from a Windows server to my new Ubuntu server running on VMware.
First, I tried just copying it over by setting up a SAMBA share and doing the copy from the Windows side but I keep getting the error "Cannot copy database.sql: The path is too deep."
I then mounted a windows network drive from the Ubuntu server and tried to do the copy that way. This seemed like it would have worked but was going very slow (30kb/sec) and so I stopped it. I may still come back to this. Lastlly, I tried setting up an FTP server (vsftpd) on the Ubuntu server and doing the copy from a FTP client on the Windows server, but I keep getting some sort of timeout and the copy re-starts.
What is the best way to move an 12GB database dump file file from Windows to Ubuntu? Can I transfer the data directly from server to server or should I just copy the file? Thanks for any direction you can point me in.
Thanks.
