[QUOTE][u]Quote by: ajzz[/u][p]Does your host provide ssh/sftp (atleast ssh) access to your server-space?

In short, its easier to upload the packed files and unpack and move them around on the server.

i.e.

- Each plugin you download from here is a single gzipped tarball file. So unless you plan to put in more than 12 plugins on the same day, you can upload the relevant plugin file (something.tar.gz) in a single go.

- Subsequently, use ssh (google if you dont know abt it)  to login to your account. Move the files to the plugins directory (or a test directory if you want to fiddle) and unpack the files. Each file typically will unpack into  a directory containing many files and subdirectories. Read the readme file first and that should tell you everything beyond that point.

FYI unpacking a gzipped tarball is best done after moving the package to the geeklog/plugins directory and then using 
tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz

Thats my

Cheers!

Ajay
