Cloning a TYPO3 Site

So, you've just spent between 1-2 weeks putting together a functional TYPO3 website to demo to prospective clients or existing customers. You may be asking yourself, am I going to need to do this every time? The answer is no!

These 3 short tutorials demonstrate how to use Putty SSH (Secure Shell) and WinSCP to quickly duplicate / clone an existing TYPO3 installation for reuse in other projects, demos or for training your web development team.

The tutorial assumes you have access to cPanel, SSH access and a VPS for root access to change ownership of files and directories (eg. www-data, nobody, apache).

If you do not have a VPS or SSH, we recommend looking at Servint. Chances are if you're paying for shared hosting, a VPS will be cheaper, run faster and speed up your development process.
