Oke let’s start the Shell first

Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal), and wucha!!! Welcome to the World Where Text is a KING

try this first. Type whois roysuryo.info

Now for fun let’s find our celebrity  IP address:

Type Host roysuryo.info

And let’s find out who owns the IP block (using the IP gleaned from the previous command):

Type Whois 68.178.232.100

Handy command huh…

lets start with basics and critical command first:

1. SSH  youruser@yourwebsite.com 

 The greatest and easy way to control and develop your web server from remote/local

2. FTP youruser@yourwebsite.com

Might not be as easy as GUI FTP clients like cyber duck or Transmit, but it never crashes, it’s free, and it’s on every Mac OS X machine.

3. curl -o filename.ext http://yourwebsite.com/path/to/filename.ext 

When installing downloadable software on a remote server or locally and forget head ache for  ’download-to-workstation-and-upload-to-server’.

4. scp /file/on/local/machine /location/on/remote/machine

secure copy is great when you need to move a few files and know exactly where they are going

5. tail -f /var/log/httpd/access_log

watch whos at your site in real time or

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

see your errors in real time

6. and Standart Unix command for daily use such :

which 

awk 

cat 

sed 

ping 

ifconfig 

man (duh) 

ls 

dmesg 

cp 

rm 

mkdir 

rmdir 

cd 

find 

chmod 

chown

Have a nice day with your web server
