Ssh - Linux - Putty - Terminal

When I got involved in running my own dedicated servers I quickly learnt the importance of knowing at least a minimum amount of linux command line. Although my knowledge is growing every day, I am comfortable using an ssh client to talk to my servers, to perform every day tasks.

Most frequent Command line usage:

• Server configuration - settings,etc (php.ini, mysql.cnf,etc)
• Backups - Both File and Database (Tar, Rsync)
• Mysql

Sample rsync & tar Commands
To backup information between my two servers I use:

	# TO TAR FOLDER
	tar --verbose --create --file=$destination/$filename $origin"

	# TO RSYNC
	rsync -e "ssh -p 2288" -vau --progress --stats $origin $remote_server_ip:$destination
