Hi Mike
Cheers for the updating info I am going to have a play. I am looking for a way of keeping a few users sites on my hosted server up to date with ought having to rely on them. This will defiantly help. I also me a couple more geoworkers last week (Mike and John from support) we meet up for computer gaming every so often in Woodford.
Cheers for the help

Bruce,
How are you old fella? I see you still can’t spell

Good to see you are using WordPress. In case you didn’t know I had a hand in it’s early days.

Now to your tip: This is potentially unworkable, deleting wp-content is very risky, what if you are in the wrong directory? And the second time you do it, if you didn’t manually remove latest.zip,you will get latest.zip.1 downloaded, but that won’t be unzipped. Finally, this doesn’t remove old files from previous versions that are no longer needed. That’s a potential security hole.

Much easier to use Subversion. Easy to set up, no risk, one command to upgrade, you can roll back if something breaks (though you should still backup your DB), etc. On the last release, I upgraded nearly 40 wordpress installations with one command and it took less than three minutes.

Checkout this codex article all about it. Give me a shout if you want a hand.

Mike

I have two keys so far. You can control your system to choose which keys are granted access. So I can’t login to your server for example with my key. It is possible to connect to a remote authentication system to verify the key, but that is not the default. I have some ssh install examples and videos on my site.

Thanks, that fixed my problem. I was having two issues, googled for the one and got a googlewhack with yours. My other problem was also fixed in the process via a different website but yours coming up as a googlewhack was interesting.
