Well I guess the easy answer is IF you have enough spare disk space on the systems (especially the old system) you could 'cpio' (I prefer to use that on a SCO system) archive the required files, ftp over that cpio archive to the new system, and then restore it onto the new system.

I would think that easier than trying to ftp over individual files en masse.
