Make a tar of everything. Ftp it host-host. Untar it.

Make sure your your new host sets up your account with the same UID/GID and path as on your old host. If they do, you're good to go after you untar it.

If you don't have any scripts. No need for the path to be the same as on your old host.

Yup.

>tar -xcv my.tar
>sftp my.tar server.name.com:/directory/
>ssh server.name.com
>tar -xvf my.tar

or some shit like that.

if you are doing it yourself use an ftp program called FXftp (sp?) which allows remote server to server transfer.

if your host is doing it tell them to "rsynch" it.

rsync from server to server

Use Flash FXP for direct FTP transfert !

ask the host to do it.

if you use WHM you can transfer 250 mb and all scripts - no need to reinstall them.
