How do I move my catalog to a new hosting provider

Is there any documentation or easy steps for moving a huge catalog with over 400 products to a new server so we dont have to totally re-input every single little item?

I've just moved my oscommerce store to a new server and all i needed to do was provide them with the login and password for my control panel and they moved it for me. Not sure if this is the same for all servers though.

Take a backup of your database, then download all the files. Change the config.php (both) files to the settings for your new store. Upload to the new server. use the database backup to populate your new database and it should work.

There should be an entry for this in the Documentation area. Maybe someone will write a more thorough answer. I know Mibble has detailed it better than this. Ask him.

Anyone know what changes would need to be made to the config.php file?
