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

Many shared hosting sites these days give shell access upoon request. For example, site5 does. Otherwise change to one which does. 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 $ chmod u+x drush then execute it: "./drush". If you see the familiar drush help file, dependencies will have been met, you are all set. Add the following line to your .bashrc or .bash_profile file in your home directory: alias drush=/home/mysite/bin/drush/drush And you should be all set to go.

We should have a list of all web hosting providers who actually provide shell access available on drupal.org so it can be easily referenced by all.

I sent in a request. We will see if I can gain the shell access :-)

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. Thanks! On 20/04/2010 12:42, Victor Kane wrote:
