 * Hi all,
 * Does this many times without issue but have been struggling today to migrate 
   a site to between two hosting platforms. Moving a site from Just Host to UK Unlimited.
 * Today whilst I can restore the database, theme, others, the uploads zip is failing
   with the following error:
 * Upload error (code -200) : HTTP Error. (make sure that you were trying to upload
   a zip file previously created by UpdraftPlus)
 * From searching forums, it seems to be a permissions problem but I am not sure
   which file to change.
 * Can you advise which WordPress file I need to change please and to what?
 * Thank you.
 * Kind regards,
 * Andrew 🙂

 * That’s a general error code which just means something went wrong.
 * As a work-around, try the method it mentions immediately above the upload area–
   i.e., use FTP instead to upload the backup set into wp-content/updraft, and then,
   when it’s uploaded, press the “Rescan local storage” link above the upload area.

 * Hi David,
 * Thanks for the help.
 * I have done that and it seems to give a partial restore. When I try that method,
   the Media Library images disappear and have a blue question mark. In addition,
   when I view the site, I get a white screen.
 * As a double check, I used a backup set from another site which gave the same 
   errors.
 * Kind regards,
 * Andrew.

 * I am getting this same error. I can’t use FTP because my host doesn’t allow it(

 * [@mirrorrim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mirrorrim/): You can also put
   the backup into any remote storage that you configure in UpdraftPlus, and then
   press the “Rescan remote storage” button.
