fastes way to copy files from domain1 to domain2

[edynas]

Hi,

I have a dedicated server with Directadmin and i want to place joomla on at least 30 domains i added to this server. What is the fastes way to copy the joomla files. I know of the software installtron but i am not looking for a total solution like that as i only want to have joomla and it's just for me and not for a client so i do not need a nice interface and i am dutch so free is my prefference.

Each installation is 14mb and i am uploading it now with filezilla but it takes forever.

Cheers,
Edwin

If you have full access (and it appears you do) you can upload it once, and then log in as shell, and recreate it for each user with shell commands. I don't think the joomla folk support this method, and I don't, because I use Installatron .

It's not that I'm not dutch (hey, you said it, not me), but that my time is worth so much more to me than mere money .

If you have shellaccess and if you are a bit familiar with Linux you can login to the system using SSH (or telnet if your provider is silly enough). From there you can simply copy the content to all the required domains using rsync or cp.

Additionally you might also consider using hardlinks for the Joomla code. That way you save up loads of diskspace, but updating Joomla might be a pain. If you consider using hardlinks, remember that you skip hardlinking the config-files.
