403 error w/ wget

Hello,
Im trying to transfer a very large site from server to server (approximately 60GB).

I've tar'd up the contents to tek_a.tar

then did
chmod 777 tek_a.tar chown root tek_a.tar
Now, on the new server, Im trying to wget the file with
wget http://www.tekcities.com/tek_a.tar
but get the following 403 error
Resolving www.tekcities.com... 72.36.168.178 Connecting to www.tekcities.com|72.36.168.178|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden 23:19:24 ERROR 403: Forbidden.
I tried different uids: root, nobody, transfer. All of them give the same error still.

Any help would be appreciated.
