< Copying and moving directories >
For copying and moving directories you can use the cp and mv commands just like you use them with files. Yeah, I know. If you've already tried to copy a directory with cp, you've probably noticed that cp just complains at you. Probably it says something like cp: omitting directory yadda yadda. You see, the cp command wants you to use the -r option if you want to copy a directory with its contents. The -r means "copy recursively":
$ cp -r dir1 dir2
The above creates a directory named dir2 whose contents will be identical to dir1. However, if dir2 already exists, nothing will be overwritten: the directory dir1 will be copied into the dir2 directory under the name dir2/dir1.
When renaming directories, you use the mv command exactly the same way as with files:
$ mv dir1 dir2
When dealing with directories, mv works a bit like cp does. If dir2 doesn't exist, the above will rename dir1 to dir2, but if dir2 exists, the directory dir1 will be moved into the dir2 directory under the name dir2/dir1.

cp -r the directory to the path in the WP installation (-r or -R = recursive (all subdirectories and their files too)
They are in different user accounts? If the same this can be done in FTP as the user ...
