can i ask you ?
your old site or data is on shared hosting or a vps or dedicated server
did you buy shared hosting from hostgator or vps / dedicated server ?

if both account old and new is on shared hosting you need to make zip or tar all of your data then use copy command or script on new site and it will copy tar or zip files from old to new server



php code could be some thing like

Code:

//original file
$img = "http://www.site.com/backup.zip"; 
 
//directory to copy to (must be CHMOD to 777) 
$copydir = "/home/user/public_html/directory/"; 
 
$data = file_get_contents($img); 
$file = fopen($copydir . "backup.zip", "w+"); 
fputs($file, $data); 
fclose($file);

instead of fopen,fread, etc... you can use

Code:

$path = "/path/to/save/to/";
$final_image = $path . $filename_name;
copy($filename,$final_image);
