I'm trying to figure out the best way to migrate an FTP server from old hardware to new hardware. The server is on a domain, but not all the users setup on the server (to use FTP) are domain accounts, some are local to the server.

For example, I have users both ways:

domain\username machinename\username

The new machine name will be different.

So I need to copy all the files with permissions in tact from the old server to the new server. Then I need to convert all the user accounts from the old server to the new server. Then I need to change the file permissions so that they are no longer oldserver\username but newserver\username.

Can this be accomplished all with CALCS? Is there an easy way that perhaps I'm missing?
