    I have a dedicated server and I need to move some sites and their mysql databases from one account to another on the same server.

    What are the commands to move a site/directory/database from one location to another?

    To move a directory, enter:

    This command moves all files and directories under book to the directory named manual, if manual exists. Otherwise, the directory book is renamed manual

    As for the database, you can dump the sql and reimport it in a newly created db.

    You should probably enlist someone to help you based on your question. SSH refers to the protocol used to connect to your server. Once you are on there, you need someone relatively tech-savvy to help you. Moving directories is trivial, assuming none of the files have hardcoded paths. For the db, you will likely need to export and reimport to a new location.
