A few choices:

This will not compress, but will be faster if you have fast drives, and a fast internet connection.
All of this is done from a shell, probably over SSH

Old host:
tar -cf (tar file) (directory to tar)

New host:
cd (wherever you want to save to)
ftp (old host)
enter your user/pass
get (tar file)
quit
tar -xf (tar file)

Or perhaps if you want compression, change it to -czf and -xvf instead of -cf and -xf
