shit, show me how to tar through an ftp program, i am anxious to see that happen
He cant get database info from the ftp anyways. Its stored by the host on their mysql server. If he is running a php db then the host will have to compress it and put it in his ftp, or if he has phpmyadmin he can dl it that way. Id say that Oracle was right on for 90% of the server setups out there.

I assumed he had shell access too, but then I forget that he is probably hosting in a shared situation and may not have a shell. I am too used to my dedicated servers and having root...
DBs have to be dumped to a file, of course. I was more wondering about the comment about scripts not coming over. Scripts are files, should come over like any other I would think.
1. backup database to a sql file. saved it inside your htdocs
2. create a same user/pass on the destination server.
3. run rsync from the destination server: (if you have ftp you should have shell if not ask for it) this will copy your domain folder (permission etc)
TAR? linux server only supports upto 2gb file, so if your domain is huge then you cant use it unless its a bsd server.
