  5. If moving upload/download locations: +
      +
    1. Setup new location +
    2. Change URLs generated by results to new location. +
    3. Results already sent will go to the old location. Until all these + are flushed, the old URL must still work. If you have NFS access + you can symlink or mount the old download/upload directories to the + new ones. Or you could use an HTTP proxy setup. +
