That depends.  Here's what I've found in the past, not necessarily with the
RaQ3, but with any such transfers.  The easiest way would be if you had
shell access at the old account, then you could tar.gz the whole directory
structure up, telnet into your Raq3, ftp into the old site, transfer the
.gz file over, unzip/untar it into a temp dir and then rename the directory
..../web where your virtual site is

This is all ok, if you have shell access at the other server -- if not, ask
if it could be granted, if available, temporarily

otherwise, if you only have ftp access, I'd just download the site
depending on the size, to a local computer, then transfer the whole thing
back up  CuteFTP does whole directory/sub directory transfers, I'm sure
WS-FTP does probably would too.  It shouldn't be too hard, if it's not that
big a site, but you don't say how big the site is, so I don't know.  good luck
