ipb 1.3 to smf

[lobokun]

SMF Version: SMF 1.1.1
hello there.
im having problems converting my database to smf. ok so i have installed smf properly an everything but it seems i run into a little problem it seems that in able to convert i also need to have access to the forum i want to convert. the problem is the forum i want to convert to smf i don't have access to it since its hosted on a free host service. hxxp:jcink.com/?act=jcink_invision_boards&p=main [nonactive]
the only thing i can do is download the data base to my computer something like myfile.sql  so my question is how can i convert my ipb 1.3 to smf with only that file. thank you

What you can do is import the IPB dump into the same database as SMF and then create a file called /conf_global.php.  That file should have all the IPB settings.  Make sure that they are correct.

These are the settings
