Doing this through SSH on your new host, beleive me "It's Fast"

we in this case just do it my way, you only need SSH access on the new host

My old host doesn't allow telnet/ssh or fxp, I guess I'm going to just reupload everything. Thanks for answering

True but it won't compress them to make transfers faster.

If you have shell access (Linux server), then I usually SSH into the site, tar and gzip files and directories:
tar cvf - public_html/ | gzip sitename.tar.gz
then open up a ftp session to the other server:
ftp serveripaddress
enter username, password,
mput sitename.tar.gz
logout
bye
Log into the server that you just ftp the files to and uncompress:
tar -xzvf sitename.tar.gz
and voila, it is done.

If the hosts support FXP, you can use FlashFXP More Info:

If your site is database-driven, you could easily dump the data via SSH/telnet and then import it on the new server, but yours doesn't sound like that. I don't think there's a way around this. When I've switched hosts, I had to reupload all the files - which, aside from the Perl scripts that needed configuration - went smoothly because I had all the files already on my local drive. Just do the downloading/uploading and go get a cup of coffee.
