   I'm a strong proponent of using mysqldump instead of directly transfering
files - this avoids problems working between mySQL versions, and just
generally makes a whole lot more sense.

   If you are determined to copy database files from one machine to another,
upload the files to another directory, use a shell (SSH or telnet) to su as
root, copy the files over, and change the ownership/permissions to match your
existing.

   Or, even better, read carefully the information you'll find at
http://www.mysql.com/ since this isn't any different on a RaQ/Cube than on
any other linux box.
