 * Zip the needed plugin folder directories in wp content/ plugins folder of first
   site, upload to second site’s wp/content/plugins; unzip it there.
 * You will require to to only “Plugins-> activate”. All will show in deactivated
   list by default.
 * If you have shell access, tar it, wget it, uncompress it. Infact, you can wget
   the whole WordPress. Just change the `wp-config.php` file in second site.
