Hello,

I just upgraded my plesk key, and I was wondering if someone could give me some advice in the installation? I assume the key file should go in the /etc/psa directory. I am not that up on linux - yeah, I know I need to learn more about it.....

My question is this. Once I putty in to my server, and get into that directory (it is the correct one, right?), how do I copy the key file from my computer to the server? I dont know the linux command to do this!

Call me a dummy if you will, but I would really appreciate someone's help on this!

Thanks!

Regards,
David Harris

Get a SSH client with a file browser so you can just drag and drop... (Example: F-Secure SSH, free 30 trial available, just look round download.com or tucows for it). I'm sure there are others, but I just happen to use this one and like it.

From plesk.com:
Installing the Key License

To activate PSA for the purchased number of domains, you must install the key license that is sent to you in an email. Key installation instructions are as follows:

1.

Transfer the key file to the server.
2.

Change to super-user with the su - command.
3.

Access the directory where you transferred the key file.
4.

Execute the key file shell script:

sh PLSK.dddddddddd.vvvv.sh

NOTE: PLSK.dddddddddd.vvvv - where dddddddddd is the key number consisting of ten digits, and vvvv is the key version consisting of four digits.
5.

The script will automatically restart the Plesk server with the new key.

There is no unix command that directly transfer files. I suggest you use a GUI ssh ftp program such as one from ssh.com (the personal/non-commercial license) to simply drag and drop to the right directory.

I did see a psftp.exe from putty, however, I have never used it, and I heard that it is just a command line utility. Depending if you are familar with commandline, you can try that first, and ssh.com next.

Sorry, I totally misread the question.
First, the key file can go anywhere on the server. It is just a shell scipt, and it will install where it needs to go. To transfer the the key, you cna use standard ftp, or there is a utility called WinSCP (http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/) that will allow you to transfer the file securely to anywhere on the server, as any user (including root).

I would like to thank you all for your replies. I got it going.
I used F-secure and it worked with no problems. In the future, can I use regular FTP and put it anywhere on the server? I would have tried this, but I thought that there would be permissions issues if I just uploaded the file to a user directory.

Thanks again, everyone!
