thanks for any advice!
If you have rot access then use:

scp old-server-folder/* [email protected]:/home/new-server-folder

I would tar it first:

tar -cvzf mytar.tar.gz sourcefilesordir/

It needs root password for the new server.

/* means everything in that folder will get moved.

Ftp only can up to 2 gigs at one time so it's no good for you most likely.

Good luck
