Hello there,
We do have an article that covers the process, although it is with deprecated status, however, you can check it here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-migrate-wordpress-from-shared-hosting-to-a-cloud-server-with-zero-downtime
You can use the
WP All in One pluginorDuplicatorto migrate all of your WordPress websites.https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/

If you have to move some of the data manually you can do that via ssh using
scporrsync. Another option is to use an FTP client like FileZillahttps://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-copy-files-with-rsync-over-ssh

Hope that this helps!
First i have created a directory healthable and moved my backup there and extracted it but then i can’t edit the wp-config as it will prompt me to create a new file with that name.
My database has been imported yet i can get it to work with the database user i created early.
