Situation:
I’ve been given SSH access to a server running LAMP (Redhat) and the brief is to migrate files and database from current live server to this new development server for testing.
Further this SSH access is contained within a Protected Workspace, so basically I have to access this companies internal network and then I can access the server there through SSH.

Issue:
SSH – WTF?? :- In the murky world of media agency smoke and mirrors alas I’m not allowed to admit weakness and it appears that I won’t have access to my familiar tools (filezilla + sequelpro)

I managed to logon to the server yesterday with Putty though have no idea how to achieve the mission:

  • Create a database
  • Import data to that database
  • Upload files
  • Set permission on files and folders
  • At what address will I be able to view the website?

Is there a kind soul out there who can point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

    What’s the problem with FileZilla? If its available on the server – run it, SSH has nothing to do with that. You’ll probably want to have X server running on your computer though, and set up port forwarding in Putty to allow applications running through SSH to connect to it.

    SSH is what it is: secured shell connection. Once you gained access through SSH you can do everything you could do using local console.
