Thanks in advance for your help.
I had to do that once. These are the steps I followed:
1) I copied all the FT files from the webserver to my computer.
2) Using a program called Navicat for MySQL (trial version available), I copied the database tables from one server to another.
(you can also use phpMyAdmin to export to .sql file then import to new mysql server)
3) In the global/config.php file, changed the database connection settings and the path settings.
$g_root_url = "http://www.yoursite.com/old_folder_name";
$g_root_dir = "/home/youraccount/public_html/old_folder_name";
// database settings
$g_db_hostname = "localhost";
$g_db_name = "dbname";
$g_db_username = "dbusername";
$g_db_password = "pass";
$g_table_prefix = "ft_";
4) Then uploaded the FT files to a folder with the same name as my old installation (ie. formtools)
** Make sure you don't re-upload the installation folder.
5) Then logged in with no issues.
