Whatever that may mean, coincidentally it seems to have solved my problem and those links are now live. But I've also lost a lot of other stuff - hopefully they can recover it.

OED lists a passive usage from late 18th century.

They're closing down my old domain. There's no going back. Migrate has been used as a transitive verb by our IS&T people for some time now. It should be getting used to its expanded role.

Maybe 'port' is a better choice, but I'm not exactly sure what meaning the word is supposed to be carrying. 'Port' would imply that some computer program was being adapted for a different platform than the one it was originally designed for. What is being 'migrated?'
