Hello, I read the Transfer Tool article,

  If I understood correctly, you are looking to copy configuration settings from one WHM server to another? If that's the case, you should look at "Configuration Cluster" in WHM.

  Thanks xpy. It doesn't looks like much help. I don't understand, cPanel is such a veteran product - and they still don't have a decent transfer tools that will do most of the copy work? why should I need to dive into the WHM config and then copy manually, working in error and trial method??

  You can copy a lot of the WHMC configuration via the transfer tool. It's under

  Thanks ffeingol, this looks much more optimistic! The wording in this article is not so explicit about that that it is copying much of the WHM config, the focus is on cpanel accounts copying. I wish this wording will be enhanced. Thank you!

  @eitanc - what specific changes would you like to see with the wording?

  I am missing a prominent sentence that clearly states that WHM is also copied (at least most of it, hopefully), at the top - something like "The Transfer tool copies any accounts from cPanel that you will select to copy and most of the WHM configuration" and then have an internal link to the section that ffeingol from above referred to, plus stating what is NOT copied. Remember that the transfer/copy is a big step for server owners and they fear lost of data and functionality, and they know that WHM is base layer of the cPanel accounts, so they need to be sure it will copied as much as possible. Consider adding a diff tool to compare whm and cpanel accounts configs between two server, before and after copy - it will help server owners to quickly find what needs their attention. If possible also refer to if firewalld config is copied. Thanks.

  We only copy the Service Configurations that have already been mentioned. Since cPanel doesn't manage the firewall, we don't provide a tool to copy those settings.
