I just tried the clone tool. It worked fine but the new copy is a nightmare, I cannot delete, edit or change permissions of files or folders, I have tried everything to get control of them, but no luck so far. Any ideas?
Actual suPHP means anything that scripts do is owned by your FTP user. You are necessarily in apache mode if the situation is as you describe, you must be confusing suPHP with suEXEC or the like. If you'd give me a URL, of course, I could check your servertest.php.
In apache mode, if you want to have access to files via FTP you need to run the chmod utility in the admin panel. It runs automatically on servers which are capable of executing it in reasonable time, but many aren't.
No, what it was is that I was trying to get too complicated with it...
I have my own server, and I was trying to clone from one domain to another, only each domain on my server has its own FTP user, so when I tried to edit files on the clone version, it wouldnt let me because I was logged on a the wrong FTP user.
I was trying to use the clone tool because the utility to create a setup file is now gone from advanced options.
Is it possible you could create a clone tool that lets you specify FTP details and a new mysql database? Or could you bring back the create setup file utility?

Copying the files via FTP would probably be way too slow, just like uploading manually via FTP is, so I don't see demand for it.
You can create a setup schema file by going to admin/export.php?filled=1&sendto=file&action=createsetup manually.
