You can download the 20six PHP archiver script here: 20six Blog Backup PHP Script
Full instructions are included, simply install PHP 4.3 or above and then edit the script to supply your username & password.
You can use it with the WordPress RSS Archive Importer to transfer your blog from 20six to WordPress. Yippee!
Alternatively there is a Windows version available as well. The features are nearly the same, but vary as I’m either improving the PHP version (at home on a Mac) or the Windows version (at work on a PC) so they are often out of sync!

[...] It is based on the RSS importer that ships with WordPress 2.0, but it has been changed to work with my 20six backup script and windows tool. These download comments as well as simply posts, and use html ‘div’ tags to indicate where each comment is, whilst keeping the same format as 20six comments (including ’sweeties awarded’). [...]

I get an error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/gutfeldt/public_html/matthias/temp/20sixBackupPHP/BlogBackupScript.php on line 339
Perhaps a missing ” or ; somewhere?

Ooer – that’s odd. It’s deep in the building xmlrpc message code there. Which version of PHP are you running?

There were two places in the BlogBackupScript.php code where several lines were merged into one. I managed to fix that, but oddly enough, I haven’t been able to reproduce it: The ZIP file seems to be OK.
One small nag in the archive import: The blog name had a ‘ in it, and of course the script escaped that to \’ which means it couldn’t find the file archive-somethin\’rother.xml because the actual name of the file was archive archive-somethin’rother.xml. Manually renaming the file fixed that, though, so it’s no big deal.
And thanks a lot for these scripts, I used them for a friend’s blog and she’s up and running again in (almost) no time at all.
