Sorry, I'm a bit unclear on where you're running into the problem. (Your WA site and your godaddy account will have different names and passwords for their FTP connections.)

You would use an FTP program (such as Filezilla) on your PC to transfer the files from a website at one hosting company to a new site on a different hosting service.
