Hello. I have up running website which is serving music from ipfs. I want to install new ipfs server and migrate all data (music files) from old server to new. How can I do that?  
Thank you in advance

the easiest way (on old server):

```auto
ipfs pin ls > file.txt
while IFS= read -r line; do
    ipfs --api=/your/new/node/multi/addr pin add "$line"
done < file.txt

```
