I need help with moving attachments.

1. Is it possible to transfer attachments with the Xsorbit board into SMF?

I have some 250 attachments residing on Xsorbit server which is not accessible to me.

I was able to transfer all the other data except attachments themselves into the test board.

I did not use any converter, just imported the backup file with phpMyAdmin and followed other step by step excellent and detailed instructions  I found here  :D - Thank you!!!


2. If I had to move the attachments manually into attachments directory what should their names be?

On the new still unpopulated test SMF board an attached image  Lia.jpg with URL

http://www.torontogsdrescue.org/Forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1.0;id=2;image

is listed in the Attachment directory as: 2_Lia_jpg6b760d805415a7846b24068850aa3a77

How was this file name generated?

I would appreciate suggestions or directions to an existing topic on this subject which I was  not able to find.

Thank you so very much
