 * Hello, I manually had to drag all the zip files into my new server as the it 
   would not do it automatically.
 * Here is the error message I get then I try to do the restore:
 * Forbidden
 * You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/tools.php on this server.
 * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument
   to handle the request.
 * Let me know what I am doing wrong.

 * Most likely mod_security is causing this error. Try temporarily disabling mod_security
   or using it with a less strict configuration.
