Using Command Line

phpbb...

[madcat]

Manual says:

If you have shell access to your account (via telnet or ssh for example) you may want to upload the entire phpBB 2 archive (in binary mode!) to a directory on your host and unarchive it there.

...or you could simply decompress the phpBB 2 archive to a local directory on the system- using ftp?

Is any method better than the other? Is it just a matter of preference?

Thanks~

I think it's simply a matter of preference. I've only used the FTP method - and had a few hosts that have PHPbb as a scripted install - one click and you're good to go.

Cool, thanks lorax.
