Moving site

Permalink
Hi
I have just recently started moving my sites using cpanel and just using ftp (filezilla) for smaller changes such as changing config files... The last site I moved went all well however there was no images... Anybody know why this happened? There was no images in dashboard. this was my process:
compressed original folder and downloaded to my computer
then I simply upload compressed folder and extract/move to the root.

I normally delete:
files/cache
files/tmp
and didn't do this... is this the reason?
