Step 7. Move files to the proper location

Move the script files and plug-ins you used with the previous version of FileMaker Server to the proper folders within the FileMaker Server folder structure. See Step 4. Make a copy of databases, operating system scripts, and plug-ins.

Note  You can use FileMaker Pro to transfer .fmp12 databases to your new FileMaker Server deployment. See Uploading database. To transfer your databases manually, see FileMaker Server Help.

Important  If you are using FileMaker Server and you want to transfer settings by loading the schedule settings file, make sure you have created a folder structure in the new FileMaker Server installation that is identical to the source server installation. Copy the databases, scripts, and other solution files from the source installation to the new FileMaker Server installation, and set the appropriate permissions in macOS and Linux. See FileMaker Server Help.
