Hmm - over the network I presume?

Method 1 - FTP
==============
Set up and FTP service (like proFTPD on the old webserver, then use something like gftp to select the whole lot and copy it across.

Method 2 - NFS
==============
Pretty much the same - set up an NFS server on the old webserver then from the new one, mount it using mount -t nfs xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/somewhere /mnt/somewhere, then just copy the whole lot accross with 'cp -r [source] [dest]'

There are HowTos out there for setting up the various servers.

Was this what you were getting at?

I posted a suggestion in your other thread on the similiar topic.

It would have been somewhat easier for us including yourself if you had kept these two questions combined within a single topic. Just a suggestion.
