Would there be any issues if i literary Copy and Paste a mysql db from one server to another mysql db server?

When i say "copy and paste" is just like tranferring one word doc from one pc to another pc.

 

I tried the copy and paste already and the new server had recognize the DB i had pasted.

I just want to confirm if there would be issues doing it so.. Or should i use Mysql.com Migration toolkit?

So long as it's the same version of MySQL, and you copy ALL of the files, it may work. 

 

I've never tried, as whenever I have a need to do something like that, I take the opportunity to upgrade MySQL to the newest version and use mysqldump to export the data, then import it with mysqladmin.
