When you select the intermediate computer installation option, you install and run the Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool on the intermediate computer, which runs either Windows or Linux. In addition, you must install and configure the FTP service on the source and target servers.

The process for migrating Apache Web sites when you select the intermediate computer installation option is as follows:

  1. The Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool prompts you for the appropriate user credentials for the source and target servers.

  2. The tool transfers the Apache-based Web site content and the configuration information from the source server to the intermediate computer by way of FTP.

  3. The tool applies the site configuration settings to the IIS Web sites on the target server.
