Ill do it for you, hit me up on AIM: NJesterIII

easy if you wanna do it yourself, no need to tar the files as SCP has a compression mode that compresses on the sending end and decompresses on the receiveing end....

cd /home/yourdirectory
scp -Cpr * yourusername@yournewhostipordomain:/path/to/destination/directory
Once it starts going, press ctrl-z then type BG to put it in the background that way if you get disconnected from SSH your transfer keeps running on the server even though you have disconnected.

Oh and just in case, if you have not picked a new host yet.... see sig. :-)
