Need help with solaris commands

Hi, i need help with solaris...i got my root password and i need to install webmin on it...i hav webmin downloaded aswell...

i'm accessing it through SSH and its all command based...

can anyone tell how i can upload the webmin tar.gz file? and should i login using root password?

 

Assuming webmin tar.gz is not already on the solaris box, you can transfer it there using a tool like WinSCP, or your favorite ftp client that supports scp/sftp, as these run over ssh.

It is often the default (and more secure) to disable root access over ssh. But assuming you can login over ssh directly as root, you can certainly do that. I would suggest creating an unprivileged user who can su or sudo, and proceed from there.

 

hmm...well i wanna know wat r the commands to do stuff?

 

To do what stuff?

To upload webmin? use a windows program like WinSCP.

To extract the tar.gz?

tar xzf webmin.tar.gz

Which solaris version are you using?
