    Yes you can however you need SSH access.

    OR

    If you have root WHM ( cPanel ) access you can use your old cpanel hosting details to transfer it over via the backup from another server ( account ) or similar.

    yes, either using wget (if you got ssh access)
    or using third party script like rapidleech, it's very handy.

    If you want to do it just with FTP access to both servers - there's a program called Beyond Compare that I use.

    It will make light work of it, but doesn't actually compress the files.

    SSH is not fast if you are referring to SFTP. However, it is secure connection transfer.

    Actually I just got finished moving 10GIG from one server to another. I had to do some custom coding
    to make it all work but man it was easy when I got done! :)

    I created a script that tar'd everything up for me on the server, downloaded that compressed file
    and then uploaded it, and then used some features in cpanel to untar it. Worked like a charm and quick and fast.

    If you want - pm me and I will send you the code for it, and tell ya what you need to do in cpanel.
