Hi Patrick,

no, you cannot use an FTP programme (like FileZilla) to access the command line. :-(

You might be able to set up a cron job to run the script, but if that is possible depends on your server and your host; maybe it is not.

Putty is the right way. If Putty did not gicve you an error message (popup window with some error text), then I would say you did things right. The "command line screen" basically is a black window with some lines of white text in it: Some information about the server, maybe a copyright notice, a kind of a system string. And you should be able to type things, which then appear on the last text-line of this screen.

Is that what you see?
