After setting up PUTTY on Ubuntu, and receiving SSH access permission
from my hosting provider, Victor's instructions for setting up drush
worked like a charm.<br>
<br>
Thanks! <br>

<div>Once you have shell access, you can unpack drush into a
subdirectory, say ~/bin/drush (where ~ is your home directory where you
log in, i.e. /home/mysite). Then the executable will be at
~/bin/drush/drush . Change to that directory and make sure it is
executable</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>$ chmod u+x drush</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>then execute it: </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>"./drush".</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you see the familiar drush help file, dependencies will have
been met, you are all set.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Add the following line to your .bashrc or .bash_profile file in
your home directory:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>alias drush=/home/mysite/bin/drush/drush</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And you should be all set to go.</div>

explain why not? After all we do have FTP access to our hosting<br>
providers. Many of us are small developers and this is of major<br>
importance to us and and should be emphasized to the drush team.<br>
<br>
I don't see why certain commands such as downloading modules remotely<br>
shouldn't be possible through drush, while perhaps running other<br>
commands disabled if there are security related issues on those.<br>
