I would like to know if there's a way to move a project in one Team Foundation Server source control to a different source control on a separate Team Foundation Server? I don't want to have to copy the files to a different folder and map that folder to the new TFS server. I've tried removing the bindings and unmapping the local source control folder on my compute, but when I do this it removes the solution file and all source code files from my local folder. Is there a way I can maintain the source code files locally and just simply map and bind that folder to the new TFS server? Your insight is appreciated, thank you.

You can remove the workspace from the old folder, so the folder is not mapped anymore to the old server. Then connect to the new TFS server and add the files to source control by either drag 'n drop or by starting the add folder command on the Source Control Explorer.
