Why can't I just copy and paste files with ftp? (Moving WP site)
After reading online for an hour or two about migrating a WordPress site to a new host (but keeping the domain) everyone says that you must use a bunch of plugins etc.
Why not just use ftp and copy/paste all the files to your new host? Doesn't this work? I am doing this now but it's going to take an hour or two before it is done. Will it work or should I just cancel the transfer?
