How to safely move my files to different hosting provider?

I am changing my hosting provider to a different dedicated server. How can I safely transfer all of my website files, including the user uploaded files and user accounts, to the new server?

In cpanel you can use server to server transfer.

If not cpanel, you'll either have to back up using SSH or download and upload manually

Ok, the server is not managed so I have to install whm, Cpanel and the OS and ffmpeg, will this be all I need to do to setup the server to run this script?

Firewall
