Are you moving to a new unpopulated server, or are there 
already mysql users on the new server?

If it is a new server with no other mysql users onboard, 
then I guess it is as easy as copying the mysql system 
database (/var/lib/mysql/mysql on my system) across to the 
new server, with the other databases you are moving.

If both servers are connected by LAN, you could set up FTP 
to transfer everything you need from the old server to the 
new one. I find Kbear is a very easy to use GUI front end to 
FTP.

In theory, theory and practice are the same;
in practice they are not.
