In the source wiki, set $wgExportAllowAll = true.
Use Special:Export to export everything from your source wiki to an XML file.
Import the XML file into your target wiki.

Merging media files

Download every file individually from your source wiki.
Upload each of these files individually to your target wiki with a suitable description.
