Three things:

1. These questions get asked (and answered) all the time!
2. Settings.php is important, so please check out my quote below and follow up the link.
3. phpMyAdmin will choke on dumping/restoring a 15MB database, so SSH is the way to go if you have it.

Settings.php is probably the key here, because you can edit it by hand to take care of this sort of stuff (with only the attachments upload path and URL being separately defined in the DB).

Please see this recent topic for further advice:
