Can't you use rsync for that? Is using rsync THAT hard? I don't think,
by the way, that a hosting provider will give you in his interface tools
to ease the move out...

Well, at GPLHost, we are fully auto-financed, fully self-owned. Why
would we have a duty to ourself to screw our customers? I think this is
quite the opposite, "our job is to help", as I always say. Weather the
customer is leaving or not... The above might apply to SOME provider, I
don't think it applies to all.
