I'm currently developing an OctoberCMS website on VirtualBox using ScotchBox.
I've bought a new machine and I want to transfer my work there. I'm trying to find a way to completely/identically clone my VMbox to that PC, but to no avail, I'm still stuck with that.
Now, I'm thinking to just clone my current OctoberCMS development environment. Is there a way to clone/duplicate my OctoberCMS app to another ScotchBox? Because, I do not want to re-setup everything from the start all over again. I've already done a few things and it will be a waste of time to copy and paste them again.
What I want to happen is to clone my current OctoberCMS to another PC as if I was just working on my old PC, is it possible?
What I'm thinking is of course, I need to dump my database, and I'm thinking of zipping my OctoberCMS directory. But I do think that there's an official/recommended way of doing it?
By the way, my Box is using folder sync, so my actual OctoberCMS files are located on my host machine.
Thank you for your answers!
Just do it,
its just fine everything is working on relative urls and relative path so you don't need to worry about it,
its pages are almost flat files so they will come with copy paste :) so no issue there.
even during setup process it just copy zip files from server and paste on local and unzip it.
so just take backup/dump database and setup in new machine.
zip your entire October cms and unzip it to new machine.
then edit config/database.php for correct user-name and password
then you are done :)
I do same for most of the time and its working just fine trust me.
if you find any other difficulties just write comment.

I just installed Virtual BOX to run linux labs. I am running into the issue, when I download Ubuntu or Kali .ISO or .OVA file extensions these files appear as if they were PDF files - so VM does not recognize them. Any suggestions towards correcting this scenario is appreciated.
View of a .OVA download
I am not sure about .ova files but you can try downloading the Ubuntu ISO file from here.
Also, are you correctly using the ISO file in Virtual box by going to the VM -> Settings -> Storage and then clicking on the disk icon besides controller, that should open the file explorer and give you the option to add the ISO file.
Sorry I can't use comments just yet, (which is where I think this should be) however, if you're using windows 10, there's Windows Subsystem for Linux, or WSL for short. Its extremely simple to install and may be able to accomplish your needs. Lots of great features if you have the latest dev build of windows 10 like reading ext4 filesystem's and making them available to windows.
As for the original issue, I'm not sure I 100% understand what you mean by opening them as PDFs, but it sounds like maybe its a matter of changing the default program for those file extensions in your windows settings. Have you tried right click->open with on the files in question ?
Had not seen the picture at first... Yes this is a default program issue. You can do as I suggested with right click, or go to settings->Apps->default Apps->choose default apps by file type

I have discovered the wget and this command is awesome.
In my tests, I've tried to download an entire folder from a Github repository, but the folder does not download like a folder, the download file is an archive with no extension.
Example:
wget https://github.com/peachananr/onepage-scroll/tree/master/Demo
Note: I want the files in this folder.
There's a way?
Thanks!
The file that wget downloaded is actually an html page that is the "view" that you see when you access the URL (that you had given).
The github webpage is just a "frontend" to the git code. To access the code, you need to either access the github link via GIT, or you can download the various released versions of the software from the Releases page of onepage-scroll
That said, you can take a look at this: Download a single folder or directory from a GitHub repo
Hope this helps.

This is probably really simply and obvious, but I'm not very familiar with Filezilla and can't afford a mistake.
I need to copy a file from the server to my desktop without actually removing it from the server - the live site needs to remain live as it currently stands. There is no "Copy" option, so I'm wondering if "Download" is the option I need to use.. but I need to ensure that "Downloading" the files will not actually remove them from the server.
Basically, I need to save a copy of the site without actually disturbing or disrupting it online.
Open fileZilla, Connect to your server, you will see Remote Site and Local site. Navigate to your desktop on local site window( this will change the location where the file will be downloaded). Double click/(right click and select download) on the file you want to download on the remote site window.
Selecting "Download" or doubleclicking the file will not delete it from the server.
Try to select the folder or the file, and drop it on your desktop folder on the left side !
It should be good !

I would like to know if it's possible to download/get a Joomla website without ftp or phpmyadmin.
I have got super user account however I am having problems with an old developer. I want to get the website and move it to a new server.
Are there extensions to do this?
Thanks
If you have Admin Acces try using Akeeba
Akeeba Backup
You can backup your site and easily put in another server using Akeeba Kickstart

There are some third-party solutions for back-up that are listed in the Joomla Extension Directory at joomla.org. You would need access to the Joomla admin to install them. But in order to move it anywhere else, you are going to need access to create a new MySQL database.
My professional recommendation is not to use this method unless you have no other choice though. In case you and others don't know, the preferred method is to create a tar ball of the website and do a mysqldump of the database. Once the files are restored along with the database, the configuration.php file that resides in the root directory of the Joomla installation needs to be edited for the new configuration.

I'm connecting to a VPN so I can work at home, but when I open small ASPX files and make minor changes and save them, it's incredibly slow.
Also even doing simple things like clicking a different line in the file to move the cursor is lagged noticeably.
Is this a known issue, or is this as I 99% suspect just down to network connection. I wasn't expecting it to be this slow.
Working with files over a VPN will be slow, as Visual Studio will be tracking changes in that file while it is open.
Try disabling 'Track Changes' in Visual Studio, under Text Editor section in options.
Failing that, you should copy the files to your local machine and work from there, when finished copy back. You can use the folder to sort by last modified to make it easier to find the edited files when you copy back.
Ideally, when working with remote codebases, you should use a repository rather than flat file storage. Something like GIT or SVN, and then 'push' your code changes back.
In any case, working over VPN always is always slow. Check VPN settings (compression, multilink), perhaps map the remote folder to a network drive, turn of 'use default gateway' on the VPN connection itself; these are methods I use to speed up VPN performance in general.
