    To change directories: cd /path/to/your/directory
    To delete a file: rm filename
    To delete a directory: rm -rf directoryname
    To unzip a zip file: unzip filename
    To unzip a tar.gz file: tar -xvzf filename
    To zip a file: don't know - try "man zip"
    To change up one directory: cd ..
    two directories: cd ../..

    linux for dummies might be a book that will help get you started. You should definitely have someone do a security check on your linux server - if you are having trouble with these commands, you probably have a few holes that need patching up. Most dedicated servers are not configured very well that I've run into.

    First, let's clarify the terminology for you.

    1) putty is not a command, it is a standalone terminal client.

    2) putty does not have commands. The 'commands' depend on what server you are connected to is using as a shell. In this case, it SOUNDS like you are connecting to BASH. A quick google of 'Bash commands' will tell you what commands are available. Putty can also connect to winblows servers or servers that run entirely different command sets, and even old school dialup BBS systems.

    3) Downloading files in a BASH session will NOT store them on your computer but on the server you are connected to - there really is no practical way to move files from a remote bash session to your local system unless your local system is set up as an FTP server. You want to grab files from your remote system, that's what FTP is for. If your FTP login doesn't have access to the same directories as BASH or whatever shell you are logged into, copy the file to a directory you DO have FTP access to.

    4) This has nothing to do with programming.

    Really? Does anyone know anything about what they're trying to do? This is basic command line commands for linux. As @deathshadow explained above, more often than not a linux shell to a shared host or similar will be running #bash - look for bash commands.
    And if you want to access /var/www/html via putty, just do a cd /var/www/html when you log in. That assumes that /var/* is a subdirectory of root, of course. And if you don't know what root is, or where the files are, I suggest reading up on "using command line commands in linux" AFTER you've checked out which shell type you're running.

    Yeah, I saw the original post-date after I answered, and edited the answer a bit. This forum should maybe set a threshold for commenting on old posts - like if they're more than a year old, remove the ability to comment.
