If you're moving your node to a Unix based OS (pretty much any OS but Windows) you can simply copy the Freenet directory to the new box. You may want to install a cron job for the autostart. Download .sh scripts (update.sh and run.sh) from downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha and drop them into the freenet direcotry if you're moving from a Windows box For moving to a Windows box you have to: - copy your Freenet directory from the old box - install a new freenet node on the Windows box where you want to move your node to - stop the new node you just installed - delete the content of the Freenet directory (save the .cmd files if your moving from a *nix box) - replace it with the content from the Freenet directory copied from the old box - start the node NOTE: don't simply overwrite the Freenet directory with the one you copied from the old box: it would work but your freenet directory would include a bunch of useless files and direcotries: the right way to go is to delete the freenet directory's content first (except .cmd files) and then replace with the stuff you copied.
