How to use Shell commands in Dreamhost space

I have only heard of DREAMHOST supporting SHELL before, but I have not used it specifically. The main reason is that it was not very necessary before and I have not uploaded too many things.

Recently, because I have to upload something with a large number of files, I am unbearable due to the speed brought by optical cables. I have to learn to use SHELL. It’s so useable, it’s really great.

Under the WIN system, install a PUTTY first and then add an account.

The login process is similar to the way you used TELNET to log in to Shuimu.

The commands required by LUSIN are:

LS (Show all files in the current directory)
CD ..  (Return to the parent directory, with spaces in the middle)
CD Directory name (change the directory to where you think of it)
UNZIP FILENAME (used to decompress folders, you can ZIP, but not RAR, please pay attention when shrinking)
RM -rf FILENAME  (Delete files. If there are many sub-files in a directory, deleting them with FTP is also a bit painful. Use this to solve them in two seconds)
zip -r The folder name to be compressed The folder name to be compressed (file compression)
WGET (Add it after use, it is said that it is very cool. You can directly DOWN what you want from other servers to your space. The speed of foreign countries is amazing)

There are many more, but that’s all for me. These can save a lot of time, which is really great!
