Normally, on my website, files are either handled by WordPress or by me doing FTP.
I'd like to copy my entire site to a new folder. I don't want to copy it down to my local drive (with wget) and then just upload it. How close is this to the line I'd need (except near midnight)
mv -r \fromfolder \%todaysdate%
I've played with Unix and Linux for a few days over the years, but I'm a Windows (and DOS-prompt) guy. So, I don't know how to get to the server's command prompt on my 1and1-hosted site.
TIA
It's going to be difficult if you can't get to the server's command line... – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams – 2010-11-19T19:19:03.767
That's part of my question. How does one get to the command line remotely on a Linux server hosted by 1and1.com. – Robert Frank – 2010-11-19T19:30:08.220
Ok, I've figured how to login with putty to get a Debian prompt. So now the only question is what the mv command to copy a folder and subfolders to a new folder that has the time-date as part of its name. – Robert Frank – 2010-11-19T19:53:32.577
