 * I am moving from a current host to a new host, but I cannot decipher my current
   hosts file structure. The first instance of my wp-admin file as below:
    /docs/
   docs/docs/docs/docs/docs/docs/wordpress/docs/wp-admin
 * Then within that folder is another doc/ with another wp-admin. Everything seems
   to be duplicated over and over again. Is this normal?

 * Correction above, the first instance wp-admin is at:
    /public/docs/docs/docs/
   docs/docs/docs/docs/docs/docs/docs/docs/docs/docs/wp-admin And within each of
   the docs folders is my htaccess and .php files repeaded over and over within 
   each /docs folder.

 * It appears as though my content, admin, and wordpress folders are buried within
   various levels of subdirectories. I fear if I retain this structure my new server
   will not read the files properly, however to consolidate would probably break
   the links. Maybe I just need the top level, but then I go an look and I see my
   images for example are buried at the different levels with old images found deeper
   within the file structure.
