You log in via SSH and do an SCP copy to copy the entire site from one server to the other, directly. You'll have an exact mirror copy. Then you'll have to log in and copy any SQL data. I use phpMyAdmin for that.

I used this recently to move my site. Using FTP to pull it down locally and then re-upload it again was too much of a pain. Plus my FTP times out a lot.
