Good evening list,
I'm thinking about using drush and after going over the drush page i'm still having some basic questions about it. I hope somebody can enlighten me ...
1) my box is an xp sp3, so i need the windows installer to install it on my pc, correct? 2) i'm on a shared host, do i need (ask the host) to install something on the server also?
Step 1 and 2 done: ready to use drush?
You just need to keep the unzipped version of drush on your server, and then run any commands like /path/to/drush command-to-run I do it this way /opt/drush/drush cache-clear all

you could save some typing by either updating your $PATH environment variable, or adding an alias to drush - both can be done in your .bashrc file (a hidden file in your home directory - log out and back in for the file to be re-read):
alias drush="/opt/drush/drush"
-OR-
export PATH="/opt/drush/drush:$PATH"
(obviously, change that path as appropriate)
hope that helps someone :) -Benj http://dtek.net

after adding an alias or updating your $PATH environment variable, you would be able to use the 'drush' command from anywhere without typing the full path to it.
Wikipedia has some decent info on aliases: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alias_(Unix_shell)

Well, if you are on windows, you will have to use putty to access servers. After you have accessed servers, go to the drupal root and then run to commands specified above.

Uh, no you don't. I use OpenSSH daily on Windows.

Executing Drush on Windows is also possible with the likes of MSYS or Cygwin.

Seems to me Cygwin is a rather large install if all one wants is ssh capability.
Kitty is an option too. When I looked, it came in a zip file, there was no installer.
