If you have root access to both servers

SSH to server B, and issue the following:--

scp SERVER_A_IPADDRESS:/home/username/backup_TIMESTAMP_username.tar.gz .

Then go in the WHM of server B, click "Restore a Full Backup/cpmove file", It should show a list of possible files to restore.

Type the username that you want restored, and click Restore

Give it some time, and it should end with "Account restore complete"

# deny_hosts

#

# Trust based rule file to define addresses that are implicitly denied.

#

# Format of this file is line-seperated addresses, IP masking is supported.

# Example:

# 192.168.2.1

# 192.168.5.0/24

# 

# advanced usage

#

# The trust rules can be made in advanced format with 4 options

# (proto:flow:port:ip);

# 1) protocol: [packet protocol tcp/udp]

# 2) flow in/out: [packet direction, inbound or outbound]

# 3) s/d=port: [packet source or destination port]

# 4) s/d=ip(/xx) [packet source or destination address, masking supported]

#

# Syntax:

# proto:flow:[s/d]=port:[s/d]=ip(/mask)

# s - source , d - destination , flow - packet flow in/out

#

# Examples:

# inbound to destination port 22 from 192.168.2.1

# tcp:in:d=22:s=192.168.2.1

#

# outbound to destination port 23 to destination host 192.168.2.1

# out:d=23:d=192.168.2.1

#

# inbound to destination port 3306 from 192.168.5.0/24
