Question

Move a site export to a Jahia cloud environment for import

Solution

For large site imports on Jahia, we recommend doing a import directly from the server.
On Jahia Cloud, to move the exported content to an environment, you can do the following steps:

  • Move your export to Jahia's FTP. Credentials can be requested through Jahia support space.
  • Download and deploy the Download Helper module on your environment.
  • From your processing node, navigate to the Download helper menu: <url>/jahia/administration/downloadHelper
  • Fill out the values as provided in this sample screenshot:

  • Make sure to configure the mail server if you want to be notified about the start/end/potential failure of the download.

The file will be downloaded into the /tmp folder.
To import, you can point to the file in the project administration page:
