Yes. The thing to remember is: when moving an MT install or any dynamic
website, it's NOT just about FTP-ing the files (which is easy), but
about replicating the database, usernames, permissions and all that
geeky stuff (which can be hard).
You should look into MT's import/export options though
another option
is it possible to ftp the files from old server to new?
maybe Dreamhost support can do that for you?
otherwise you'll have to download to local and then upload again (ugh!)
if using ftp is an option, you can at least make this two simple (but
possibly slow) folder copies
hope
assuming you have the proper permissions
assuming both systems are compatible
and assuming that you only want to copy files, not just import/export

thanks, Peter. I have a movable type install, a blog with archives, some hosted videos.
I've logged in to the command line of my server, yes, with Terminal and
have some basic unix knowledge but how to move it over to another
account baffles me.On 3/5/06, Peter Van Dijck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wr
It depends: what do you have on your old website? A wordpress install
with a database? Just a flat website with files?
