I would not move the raw data files between different servers. It might 
work but a lot could go wrong: different mysql table types, different 
architecture, different mysql servers versions, etc.

Mysql has command-line tools for creating, exporting and importing 
databases. That's what I would use. Use "mysqldump" to get a snapshot 
of the database, use "mysqladmin" to create the database on a new 
server, then do something like "mysql -u username dbname < dump.sql " 
to load the sql dump file.
