I am working for a company that has 200+ websites on an old server. They are trying to move the all to a new server running Plesk 8 and Virtuozzo.

Does anyone know a good way to move them all? The have the passwords list to all the sites in Excel, so I was thinking to save the domain - user name - password columns as a CSV, read it into a main PHP file, and have that file run a full-site FTP download script.

Is there a better way to do this? or a premade program that does this?

I was planning on parsing the site data for the mysql_connect connect lines to get the user name and password, but a lot of the scripts use configuration files, so the mysql connect lines would just have variables in them. Could I replace mysql_connect with a call to a different script, and have that store the database info, then die?
