How is the easiest way to move files from one server to another?[nbsp][nbsp]Can this be done under ftp by directory?[nbsp][nbsp]If so, would it keep all the same premissions?

You should use the invention of a century "tar zip" :)

Here are the instructions to tar the dir you are in, and all of its sub directories:

To Tar:
tar -cvpf name.tar .[nbsp][nbsp]<---- dont forget the space then the dot)

To UnTar:
tar -xvpf name.tar
