Many shared hosting sites these days give shell access upoon request. For example, site5 does. Otherwise change to one which does.<div><br></div><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>&quot;./drush&quot;.</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>

Please 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&#39;t see why certain commands such as downloading modules remotely<br>
shouldn&#39;t be possible through drush, while perhaps running other<br>
commands disabled if there are security related issues on those.<br>
