    apt-get -y install tofrodos

    Download or create ZPX_ubuntu_12-04_auto_installer.sh

    The author means you need to transfer the "ZPX_ubuntu_12-04_auto_installer.sh" shell script to the server, and if necessary, change to the directory you saved the script in using the cd command, before entering the commands below:

    fromdos ZPX_ubuntu_12-04_auto_installer.sh
chmod +x ZPX_ubuntu_12-04_auto_installer.sh
./ZPX_ubuntu_12-04_auto_installer.sh

    He seems to be referring to a particular script included in a .zip file posted on a web forum.

    You may be able to download the .zip file to your computer, extract it, and then use the sftp or scp program to transfer just the shell script to the server. Alternatively, you could use wget or curl to download the .zip file to the server and then the unzip command to unzip it.

    A graphical SFTP client like FileZilla may help for the former approach. The Firefox add-on cliget may help for the latter, especially because the file is hosted on a password-protected web forum.

    fromdos is just a utility program to convert a text file from DOS/Windows format to Unix format by stripping out all the carriage return characters. Perhaps using this command is necessary because the author of the script used a Windows text editor or an ASCII-mode FTP transfer before zipping up the file. Of course, you need the file on the server if you are trying to run the command on the server.
