Here are commands for a way (not necessarily the only or the best way)
to move a site from one server to the other.

Save the original site (MacOS X has GNU tar, right?):

    tar -zcvf pmwiki-site.tar.gz pmwiki

Copy the tarball to the other server and restore the site.

    tar -zxvf ../pmwiki-site.tar.gz
    chmod 777 pmwiki/wiki.d
    chmod 666 `find pmwiki/wiki.d -type f`
    #  If your site has uploaded files...
    chmod 777 `find pmwiki/uploads -type d`
    chmod 666 `find pmwiki/uploads -type f`
