You don't necessarily need to download the files locally. You could use sftp, scp, etc to copy the files server to server.

each box is with a different host.
I was told by the host where the database is at that they would prepare the file as a .tar or .gz file and I could use telnet or ssh to get the file... i have NO clue then what to do with it once its on the new server
