no. You might want to contact your new host and see if they will do that for you. However i don't think that will be service offered by any free hosts.

You mean FTP? That easy to set up. Firstly make sure that you website is working properly on your local hard drive. I am assuming it's just a static HTML website. Then use an FTP program like WS FTP Lite to up load it.
About the only thing that you need to program into the FTP program is
HOST Address
User Name
Log In
This is all provided that your new host will allow FTP. My expirence with some of these free web host that they would rather you use thier online file upload manager.

My new hosting site advertises ‘website transfer’. I don’t know how to do it.

Contact the provider. No sence in talking to me about that.
Make sure that they are offering Website Transfer and not just a Domain Transfer. I had a customer of mine confuse that one once. Luckly they I still had a copy of thier website on my computer.
