    While trying to migrate, I am not sure about what to enter under Directory Path.

    Using AWS Lightsail. The WordPress instance where the site will be migrated is on Plesk Ubuntu.

    As evident from this thread (https://talk.plesk.com/threads/unable-to-connect-with-filezilla.359198/#post-887337) on Plesk forum, the directory path for the proposed WordPress website with domain name digitalsplendid.host will be:/var/www/vhosts/digitalsplendid.host.

    While trying to access remote files for digitalsplendid.host through FTP, I could locate /var/www/vhosts/digitalsplendid.host (https://ibb.co/DQJ3q6Y).

    So while filling details as part of migrating using Migrator Guru plugin, I enter under Directory Path:/var/www/vhosts/digitalsplendid.host.

    The result is this message: The specified directory does not exist on the destination server (https://ibb.co/7yn0Gmt).

    Earlier, while trying to access through SSH, I wrongly entered username as splendid1008 instead of ubuntu. Now, I get this message:

    Unable to access wpconfig file. Please check if WordPress is installed on the destination address. Also, check if you have permission to access the folder.

    The reason was ports 20-22, 49152-65535 ports are blocked by default on AWS Lightsail for Plesk Ubuntu instances. Need to open the port under networking. https://ibb.co/xLkp3tM

    For migration purposes, use /httpdocs as destination directory path.
