Hi @dcollinsClam,
If you have SSH access to your new hosting you can either use the scp or the rsync command.
Imagine you want to use scp, you’ll need to SSH to your droplet with DigitalOcean.
ssh root@YourDropletIp
Go to the directory you wish to migrate and type in the following command
scp -R DirectoryOfYourWebsite UserOfNewHosting@NewHostingIP:/path/to/where/your/files/will/be/stored
This will ask for the user password of your new hosting.
