Wordpress Hosting Proglem

[Geek-9pm]

I need to move my WordPress Blog.
This is so embarrassing, I thought I was pretty smart. Now I need help from others.
My Geek9pm site is no longer visible from ny location. I don't know why. But I still have FTP into the site. I can not get into the site with HTTP
So I thought maybe I could just move my WordPress stuff. Not so easy. I have never tried to export  my blog with FTP. I have no  idea of what I am doing.
I did download the whole WP directory and all its contents. But now what can I do with it? Only a small part of it is really my posts.
So my question is: How does one export posts from WordPress site using only FTP?I can not get into the site with HTTP.
Anybody?

You would also need access to the database so you can copy that over to a new server as well - The data that you download over FTP only contains the wordpress software and any uploaded files e.g. images.

Once you have the files over FTP and the database dump (probably a .sql file) You would need to upload the files to a new host, execute the .sql file on the new database server and then update your wordpress config file to point to the new database.

You are right. Could not find any posts in the stuff I downloaded.
So I have to get the SQL files.
Thank you.
I should have the site back up on another server in a day.

Actually, usually the database isn't stored in files that are accessible from your hosted account.

Yeah, you'll need to export them using a program - Most web hosts provide "PHPMyAdmin" through their control panels, this is what you would use to export and then probably also to import once you reach your new server.

Thanks folks. Right, FTP does not go into all things. But I was able to get into the control panel via the server portal, not my web site.
But on a hunch, I tried getting HTTP  via a proxy. It worked! For some reason I was blacked from my web site! With HTTP, WordPress will export stuff as an XML file.

Problem solved!
