Hi,

I am trying to import an sql file into a database i have made in one of my domains. I have uploaded the database to one of the domains on the account in a zip folder however here is the problem. I cannot work out how to get into the account where the zip folder is to unzip it.

I have logged into the server via ssh (using putty) and when used the user name and the password for the account which ihave uploaded the database to for connection and not root.

So now i am in the right account however i cannot work out how to tell putty/shh to navigate into the right domain on that account. I have come from, using cpanel which is very easy - cd /home/accountname/public_html/domain folder but trying a smilar version of ths i get no joy.

Lets say that the domain was called domain.com how would i navigate into the public_html folder for this domain please so i could unzip the database and then imort it.

thanks
carl
 
Once you're logged in using the shell, then run the following command line and post here the output:
Code:
whoami ; pwd
