From looking at the images directory on our site, it appears that images are maintained in a directory structure that approximates a b-tree of some sort, presumably to mitigate possible problems with extremely large numbers of images. We haven't reached that point yet, so is there any reason not to simply copy the directory, move all images to the top-level in the copy, move the copy over the the new server, and then use something like importImages.php to do the work?
Ought to work, sure.
