ayok Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hi, I have a question about uploading large files to webserver. It takes always long time to upload files like joomla! or magento site through FTP like filezilla which can have more than 10000 files. Is there any faster way to do this? Thanks, ayok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoseley Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Only thing faster would be to SSH into the server and download directly to the box from the source with wget. That's how I usually do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayok Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hi.. thanks smosely. But I don't really understand your explanation. I need to install SSH in the server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoseley Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 No, SSH is a protocol for connecting to the server remotely (Secure Shell). You use an SSH client (like putty, if you're on windows, or a Mac terminal if you're on a mac) to connect to your server from your workstation. then you use wget to download the file from command line.

The Little Guy Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 login to your web server via putty (Windows) or terminal (Linux/Mac). in your home dir cd ~ Download the file wget http://wordpress.org/latest.zip next unzip the files to your webserver unzip latest.zip -d ~/www/mysite.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyph Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 It you don't have shell access... Upload the zip'd file to your web server Create a PHP script that uses PHP's zip functions to extract to the directory of your choice http://php.net/manual/en/book.zip.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
