you could say use wget or curl via terminal or write a related script to do something like this as such but why? when you could simply go into you cpanel and say simply do home directory backup and a full directory back up, dbs backups and download those respective files directly in cpanel/browser (normal way of do a site backup and move) and upon completion of such then restore said backups on new host or if not desired then simply extract the backup files on you desktop and there you already have everything you once desired to remotely grab via wget or curl? I say this because you already stated you have some issues with ftp services and your current host so why even involve ftp when you can simply do the cpanel backup route? Just saying that your aim to accomplish this the way you are hoping seems to be making more work for yourself than is needed, just saying...

That doesn't surprise me.  Don't know what sort of web panel you have, but surely you can create a backup job and tar the files?  Putting all your mybb board files into a single archive.  Then you can download that file.  Depending on their scripts, might have to untar specific stuff to get what you actually want.

Example extract of board files from a backup.  Assuming something.tar.gz:

tar -zxvf /path-to-archive-file path-to-files-in-archive/ --strip-components ? (depends on tar.gz how many layers to strip)

I use a backup archive for both board files and database.  Have done so in both cpanel and directadmin, but depends on what you have.
