I’m trying to migrate a local site to an existing online one.
Both local and online sites have the same wordpress (4.2.2) and Updraft plus (2.10.3.1) versions, along with the Migrator extension.
I’ve already managed to upload the “Database”, “Plugins” and “Themes” zips, but when I try to upload the “Uploads” zip, (Which is about 300Mb) I get an error after the upload reaches +-200Mb saying:
Upload error (code -200) : HTTP Error. (Make sure that you were trying to upload a zip file previously created by UpdraftPlus)
I then wanted to upload the files via FTP, but I can’t seem to find the “updraft” folder in “wp-content”, and there’s also no “updraftplus” in the “plugins” directory. The plugin seems to be working fine on the live site though.
In the expert settings of Updraft, my directory is listed as “updraft”, and I can still create backups and delete them… I just have no idea where they are? (I also have about 38% of space left on the server)
Is there any other place Updraft would save to that I don’t know about?
Hi Candace,
To see the full server path for your WordPress install, go to the expert/debugging tab in UpdraftPlus, and it is the “ABSPATH” setting shown there. To then work out the temporary directory used by UD, add on wp-content/updraft to what is shown there.
Similarly, for plugins, the plugin directory is shown in that tab as WP_PLUGIN_DIR – add ‘updraftplus’ to work out the path to UpdraftPlus.

Hi Candice,
If UpdraftPlus can be installed in WordPress, without its files existing on the filesystem, then that would be a miracle… Best thing to do would be to ask whoever runs your server to give some guidance, as it needs someone who has admin access to the server itself to be able to tell you what’s being done wrong.
