Exporting a Typo3 site bit by bit

(edit: I'm leaving all the mistaken assumptions in just in case someone else makes the same mistakes)

I have an ancient Typo3 3.8.1 site on a remote server. I don't have access to that server, and the team in charge of maintaining the site doesn't know who to contact to get access to the server. I do have the admin rights on that site, though. (edit: no I don't. oops.)

This is what I see in the (not) admin menu: the admin menu

I'm not sure if this version supports extensions, I can't find an extension manager anywhere. (because I'm not an admin)

I want to export the site so I can host it on a server on my own domain instead. The problem is the export file is too large, I can't download it. Will I destroy the directory structure if I export a bunch of pages at a time?

Sometimes the server allows more memory and execution_time that the T3D Export. So, if you can change PHP files on that server, try to change typo3/sysext/impexp/class.tx_impexp.php - search for ini_set and change that settings. If the server allows, you can then create bigger t3d-files.

And you could try some shell-extensions to get hands on that server:

But to answer your initial question: you can crate a couple of T3D-files and import them again. Just force uid if you import them - and install all needed extensions first!

If you have admin access to the backend you can try to install Quixplorer - file manager. Using it you can try to zip folders in the main directory ie. (typo3, typo3conf, fileadmin etc) one by one and download them via browser.

It's important to download and remove typo3conf.zip from the server as soon as possible, cause it contains sensitive data.

Additionally you can also install PhpMyAdmin extension (search in repository) i you haven't other MySQL client.

Edit:

If you can't use Quixplorer the only way is... to write own extension and upload it via Extension Manager, there you'll need to try perform primitive file system operations like:

(PHP)

system('zip -R t3c.zip typo3conf/');
