I'd like to migrate pieces of content between servers.  I'm concerned that it will get tedious to do these one at a time.  The problem is that the site is already organized hierarchically and I don't want to throw everything into one big directory and mess that up.  Furthermore, it is a Plone site and there seem to be a few more restrictions.  I tried exporting the whole site...that cause problems (the ZMI interface for these objects looked totally messed up).  I also tried taking just the content folders and putting them in a folder via copy/paste to then just export that single folder.  That didn't work because Plone doesn't allow you to copy and paste certain object types (at least I got errors when trying to do so).  Finally, I tried using FTP thinking I could nicely drag and drop stuff from one server to another.  Sadly, the FTP client doesn't support non-standard ports and the one Zope/Plone site that has an FTP on a standard port didn't get along with my FTP client.
 
So, all this has me wondering...how can I export my content.  It seems like it would have been a nice feature in Zope to allow me to just check several objects and then hit export and have Zope export all of them.  As far as I can tell, this is not supported.
 
Any help appreciated.
