Are the files TM backups? You handle those somewhat differently to regular files.
Check Q18 here for moving TM backups.

Otherwise it is standard copying of files via finder.
I strongly recommend using ethernet.. turn off wireless. This is going to be a bit slow because the copy has to take place via the computer.. ie all packets are copied.. old TC--Computer.. Computer--new TC. As such it can take ages if you use wireless.
Bridge the old TC and plug it into the new one. Then you can mount the TC disk .. open a second finder window makes it easier to keep things open .. create a new directory in the new TC.. for old files .. do not just dump them under the root directory. And then copy away.
