Easiest/Fastest way to transfer files when moving host?

Whats the fastest and easiest way to transfer files when im moving to a new host

 

Hi, fortify.
The easiest way is to ask your new host if they can do it for you. My current host did it for me at no extra charge.
Otherwise, you will have to do this yourself using your favorite FTP utility and download ALL files from your old host
to your computer and upload them to your new host.

Hope that helps.

 

Get a full back up of your file from the old host, upload it to your new server, ask your provider to restore everything for you

 

Do you have shell access? If you do then you can tar and bzip all your files (don't forget DB dumps) and then place them in a password protected directory on your old host. Then shell in to your new host and drag them over with wget.

$ wget --http-user=username --http-password=password [url]http://www.domainatyouroldhost.com/directory/your_file.tar.gz[/url]
