Self install script

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Sep 29.2007

I noticed some installation packages you can install from the script’s website via FTP. You put all of the ftp info in and it automatically uploads the software from there server to yours.

What is this called and where can I find a script that will do this?

Thanks

@NogDogSep 29.2007 — I don't know what it's called or where to get it, but I do know I'd be very, very careful about giving anyone FTP access to my web server unless I'm 100% convinced they can be trusted.

@WebnerdSep 30.2007 — Ok, there are several pre-installed Linux packages that do this. What do you want to install??

PEAR - Gets PHP extensions

APT - Updates/Installs Unix progs (Debian is common to use this)

YUM - Updates/Installs Unix Progs (Fedora, Red Hat are common to use this)

And, there are WGET and cURL that allow you to retrieve files from servers through command line.

Again, what do you want to do?
