1. Transfer to new server Telnet/SSH into machine1, and from the command prompt type the following:
cd /path/to/yourbackupdirectory 
Then type:
ftp MACHINE2

Replace MACHINE2 with the host name (eg. www.example.com ) or IP address (eg. 192.168.0.0 ) of your new server. This should open a connection and ask for your username/password, then it should say ftp> Type the following, hitting enter after each line:
bin {enter}
cd /path/to/newdirectory {enter}
put dump.sql {enter}

It should take between 20 seconds and a few minutes depending on the size of the file. Now type: 
close {enter}
quit {enter}
verify dump.sql is in the /path/to/new area on the new server.  2. Restore to new server Telnet/SSH into machine2  create a database on the mysql if necessary (ask your server admin for help with this as it varies from machine to machine)  at the prompt type:
mysql -uUSERNAME -pPASSWORD newdbname < /path/to/dump.sql 

this takes a couple of minutes depending on your database size, but you can track the progress either by FTP (checking the /mysql/data/newdbname and see the files appearing) or by phpMyAdmin (you should see the files appearing there) 
when it is completed, it will bring you back to the prompt
