Moving SMF from one Apache server to another

Previously I converted my phpbb forum to SMF, went very well, but now I have changed servers, still Apache but I need to move my forum across. I guess it is just copying files - anyone know how to do it?

Thanks

But...

I have swapped my domain over to the new server, so alycat.com [nofollow] points to the new server  - if I load the index.php on the old server (using the direct name) it asks to logon and when I do that it changes to the forum on alycat.com [nofollow]. I tried the repair_settings file but it doesn't even seem to load.

Any clues?

You will need to move all of SMF's files to the new server first, and then you should be able to login just fine.
