First load all the datafiles and logfiles to server B in the locations you want them. Load the controlfiles as well, they aren't useless.

Now.....

edit the init.ora file on server B to point to where the control files are.

create a sql script file that contains (for every datafile and logfile)

alter database rename file '<original file name>' to '<new file name>';

the file names should include the full path specification.

now
go into svrmgrl:

connect internal
startup mount
<run the script>
alter database open;
exit

and you have moved the database and files to the new server
