How can I move a document library from one site to another on the same server.
Both source and destination sites are under the same root site.
The Sharepoint Content Deployment Wizard is awesome for this sort of thing. Highly recommended and open source.
I've had success simply opening up explorer view on both sites and dragging and dropping. I guess it depends on how complex your migration is.

Thanks in advance for your insights.
I created a Template page in one SharePoint site. Now I need to copy that Template page to another SharePoint site. I was expecting this to be very simple, but have not found a viable solution yet.
Here is my Template page...
https://my_url.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite_365/SitePages/Templates/Documentation-Template.aspx
This is where I need to copy it to...
https://my_url.sharepoint.com/sites/my_other_site/SitePages/Templates
NOTE:
My version of SharePoint is SharePoint Online.
I created Documentation-Template.aspx as part of an Office 365 group site. Not sure if that might make a difference.
Thanks again!
Under the modern experience, you can only copy a site page to the same Site Pages library in the same site. You could vote on this idea in uservoice：

As a workaround, you could switch to classic experience. Then copy a site page to another site with the URL path to the other site's Site Pages library. Like this:
This still doesn't seem to be an option.
Here's a flow I made to accomplish this
Manually trigger a flow and ask for SourceSiteURL, PageName, DestinationURL and FailAction
Init Integer variable for FailAction
Switch to set fail action from input to Integer
Copy file in SharePoint from sourceURL/SitePages/PageName to DestinationURL/SitePages/PageName
I hope someone has met this need before. I got quite a bunch of documents in a Sharepoint site. And I want to download all the docs as a whole instead of one by one. I have tried the Teleport Pro but it just said HTTP 401 Unauthorized error. Is there any way to download the whole Sharepoint document-sharing site?
Many thanks.
If you have WebDav enabled, you can just open your sharepoint site as network folder and copy paste the documents into your local hard drive.

You can use DMS-Shuttle for SharePoint for this purpose. With one drag & drop (or CTRL+C, CTRL+V ) you can download a document library or the whole site with all subsites and document libraries. You can define different filters (by modified date, size or file extension). There is a Trial Version here.
I would like to use Sharepoint Designer 2007 as an html editor. I have a web site with a lot of files in a folder on my hard drive. I do not want Sharepoint Designer to make a web site out of this. I just want to use Sharepoint Designer to edit the html files, locally.
If I ever make a mistake and click on a tool for Sites, such as summary or report, Sharepoint Designer will decide that my folder is now a web site. From that point on, Sharepoint Designer is painfully slow whenever I open a file contained in the folder that Sharepoint decided is my web site, instead of being instantaneous like it was before.
I can resolve this situation by renaming the folder containing my web site -- everything gets fast again. I can also fix it by uninstalling and reinstalling Sharepoint Designer. Neither of these is a good solution. Is there a place in Sharepoint Designer, or in application data or the registry that I can kill off the Sharepoint Designer web site that's associated with a folder on my hard drive?
I'm not certain this will fix your issues (as I can't easily recreate the situation you describe). But I do know where SharePoint Designer tucks away metadata about the websites you open and edit.
The next time SPD converts your folder to a web, shut down SPD and delete the contents of the following folders:
WebsiteCache:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
Vista/7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WebsiteCache
There is one file in WebsiteCache you may wish to keep, which is Websites.xml. This contains the "shortcuts" you see when you go to File > Open Site...
Web Server Extensions:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
Vista/7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache
Whenever SPD gets wonky about reporting which files are checked out/in, really slow to open, or just generally weird, we clean out these folders and things return to "normal".
Hope this helps!
Can any one please suggest any good Network share explorer WebPart in SharePoint where in it provides all basic features like expand-collapse network share folders in left pane and containing files/folder in right pane, Drag and drop feature, Cut and or copy - Paste feature...
I really appreciate any help.
Nikhil.
A Page Viewer Web Part, set to show Folders will do most of what you're asking for, the exception being the lack of a left pane.
Otherwise, you might want to check out René Hézser's File Server Web Part
We've got a couple of commercial web parts which expose physical directories.
http://www.salamandersoft.co.uk/myDocuments.html
It doesn't support all of your requested functionality though such as drag and drop.
A couple of others are from Bamboo Solutions http://store.bamboosolutions.com/sharepoint-file-share-library.aspx and one on CodePlex http://networkshare.codeplex.com/.
Does it have to be on the SharePoint site? Why not just use Windows Explorer? Put the document library into Explorer View and you can drag/drop and cut/copy & paste from Explorer to SharePoint.
What is the best way to copy an existing SharePoint MOSS site and then recreate a copy of it on the same server?
I want to ideally include web parts but not actual content like documents etc.
I've looked at using the SPDeploymentWizard and saving the site as a template but the SPDeploymentWizard takes all the content and saving it as a template I get an error that the site is too big to save.
Any suggestions appreciated
You can create a site template by clicking the "Save Site as Template" option in the Site Settings page. SharePoint does not have the ability to create templates based on Publishing definitions but there is a work around listed here:
link text
Webpages with weparts or not are considered content in SharePoint.
So to move the site you will have to create a new moss site with an associate content database.
You will then be able to backup your original site and restore it over the new one.
Then you will have to delete the content you did not want to have in the new site.
To avoid this problem in the future, create a SharePoint Solution containing site template using STSDev2008.
This will take time, but it will allow you to create a site with all the required content pages etc ready to go and will reduce the time to create these sites.
You can backup and restore to a different server using stsadm.exe.
EDIT
Apparently there's an actual export feature for content
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb507233.aspx
The default size of templates is around 10 MB. you can increase that using
stsadm -o setproperty -pn max-template-document-size
Also if you are doing templates, that does not do sub-sites.
