Hello All,
I got a computer from a client who was using a desktop as a local server to host her website.
It's using pfSense system, based on FreeBSD system, which I'm not familiar with. Person who set it up is no longer available and I'm not familiar with it.
What I'm trying to do is to retrieve the website files from its hard drive and transfer it to the new server of website hosting service like godaddy or something similar.
I tried to connect it to Windows and MacOS computers and it's recognised but it's impossible to access any data on it.
Can anyone recommend anything?

The default file-systems for most modern Linux flavors are EXT4 and BTRFS, whereas the default file-system for FreeBSD is UFS (UFS2).
