@Jason, I can’t recommend in person any other command line ftp client. But I believe you can easily adjust the script to any client that is installed on your host.

Hi,

The error you’re describing doesn’t sound specific to Gentoo. It happened because the files in the wordpress dir where changed while you made the backup. My guess is that you use some kind of cache plugin that accidentally changed it files right during the upgrade or that you’ve uploaded a file during it.

Does it always happen? What cache plugin do you use?

Hello Guy,

thanks for this script, should be a standard in WP….

Unfortunately the script creates the following message on a Gentoo server after creating the tarball:

file changed as we read it
failed!

As I am a WP user and not a coder, this leaves me puzzled….any hints much appreciated!

Regards,
Andy

After saving the script to a file (e.g. script.sh) you need to allow executing it. For example in the command line:

chmod +x script.sh

Afterwards you should be able to execute the script.

Hello again! I am very sorry to bother you, but I still don’t understand how to run this script. I tried copypasting the text to ubuntu command line (I am using Ubuntu 8.1) but it closed after two seconds. Then I tried saving it to a script.sh file and I dragged it to command line, but it said “access denied”. Could you please be sooo kind to give me step-by-step instructions on how to run this script properly? I would be really happy if you just could!

Thanks A LOT in advance,
Jupstejuho
