CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I just thought I'd ask and this does not have to do with any particular version, however, I am installing v 2.2.7.   I have a Comcast cable internet connection and am using CuteFTP Pro.  It is quite the task to get the CiviCRM files uploaded.  It never works going for the whole shot and I always have to upload groups of folder sections.  Many times then having to go back and find issues where some files did not upload and I have to pick up the stragglers.

My question is - do other people have this issue or is there a better way to upload the CiviCRM files?

Thanks - Dave

Thanks - I wondered if that was what people were doing.   I'll check what the servers allow.  I've probably won in raffles more copies of Linux distributions that times I've issued Linux commands.

I assume the process involved having shell access and we might have this on our test server.  I also found this item while searching around on another of my hosting accounts - all of my hosting accounts have cpanel:

You can make it even simpler (for those who aren't familiar with SSH) and just use the File Manager in cPanel. It gives you a sort of pseudo Windows Explorer GUI interface, within which you can select the archive and expand it without needing to know any SSH commands.

Yep - works just fine for Drupal and for CiviCRM - that will save a days work for each install <sigh>  Of course this means that we may have to reconsider our upgrade strategy from v 1.9 to 2.2 or 2.3.  Before I could not see us being able to do all the upgrades with a day for each with our production server.  Now, maybe.....

Thanks - love these forums !
