I've just got the details for my new dedicated linux server. The only port open at the moment is 22 for SSH. I want to start webmin on the server. It isn't installed at the moment - so I need to send the file to the server somehow from an SSH session. In words of one syllable, can anyone explain how this could be done? I haven't got a clue how to do it - I was thinking perhaps start the FTP server (I don't even know how to do that). Any help would be much appreciated.

Check your PM.

Thanks anyway James, but I was just wondering if someone could quickly post an outline of how to do it.

Ill assume you are new. Login via SSH to your box. Change directory to a folder you can remember.

Run this command:
WGET filelocation/nameoffile.***

Unzip the file to your directory. Install script. Bam ur done. Good Luck.

I know this really is going to sound stupid - but how do I run the setup.sh script. simply 'setup.sh' doesn't work - but I can't remember what it is you have to put in front of it!

I'll get there eventually...

Cheers,
Daniel.

Are you asking how to download/install ftp/webmin or get it running?

Frank

bash setup.sh

Thanks for your help everyone - everything is up and running now. I know where to ask if I run into more difficulties!

You can also do:

sh setup.sh

or..

./setup.sh


does depend on the system though
