You can dump the contents of your databases with mysqldump, and load
those contents on your other server, using the mysql client program or
another tool like phpMyAdmin. You can even combine that, e.g.:

shell> mysqldump --host=localhost --all-databases | mysql --host=remotehost

Note that you may have to specify a number of other options, like
username and password (on both sides), and options like
--add-drop-table if you want to overwrite existing tables on your
remote server.

Please check out http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysqldump.html which
lists all the available options to mysqldump (don't panic, you'll need
only a few of those!). Moreover, that page has some good examples how
to use mysqldump (also in combination with mysql).
