How To - Upgrade or Migrate From Titan FTP 2019 or  Cornerstone 2019 to the Latest Titan SFTP

You can update your legacy 2019 Titan FTP or Cornerstone 2019 server to the latest version of Titan SFTP while keeping all your legacy configurations intact. Your legacy server will still be available but the service will be stopped and in a disabled state. Your previous server instances will be automatically imported. You can always revert to the legacy version by re-enabling the service, no information or configurations will be changed.

Pre-requisites

Titan SFTP / Cornerstone MFT 3675 (or the latest legacy version)

The Operating System (OS) must meet the System Requirements for Titan SFTP

At least 2GBs of disk space available for installation and backup of legacy configuration

Steps

1. Install Titan SFTP server on the same server as your legacy Titan or Cornerstone MFT server
2. After installing Titan SFTP click on the desktop icon to launch the Titan SFTP Admin web interface
3. Create your Admin account and login
4. Your previous legacy Cornerstone MFT server configurations and settings will automatically be imported so you should see your previous server configurations.

Moving to a new VM

If instead of migrating in place you wish to move your 2019 Titan server configuration to a new VM running the latest Titan SFTP server then there are 2 options

1. The recommended option would be to do an in place upgrade with the latest Titan SFTP installer, then export your server config to a .nxcfg file and take that .nxcfg server config file and import it into your new VM that has the latest Titan SFTP already installed.  You could then disable the new Titan SFTP service and re-enable the 2019 service and your old VM will still be running 2019 version.
2. Another option if you are using Titan FTP (not Cornerstone which uses a SQL database) the settings are stored in the registry under 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\South River Technologies\Titan FTP Server'.
   1. Export this key and everything under it using regedit to a .reg file
   2. Import this .reg file on the new VM where the latest version of Titan SFTP is installed.
   3. From the Servers List in Titan Admin UI select the Import button and choose 'Import Legacy Server Instance' and you should see the legacy server instance in the selection box below.
   4. Click next and continue with the import.

Notes

Some SSH host keys or TLS certificates that have private keys will not be imported due to not having the password for those keys. These will have to be manually exported from the 2019 server and then imported into the new Titan server.
