I"m slowly making my way through installing the ubb software on mindraven server from my mac. I'm managing to make slow progress but have several questions. I'm moving the files from my mac using ftp. I've tried 2 different ftp graphical clients neither of which appears to be able to copy subdirectories. I've also tried ftp command line from my mac terminal window using mget * a but it isn't getting subdirectories either. I finally gave up and manually copied all subdirectories and files so I believe they're all on the server now in /www/forums
I then tried to run install.php (in install directory) but it doesn't appear to do anything except extract a text copy of the program itself to my mac. I'm running install.php from the CP file manager, not sure if that's correct. So my questions are:
1)anyone know unix command to do recursive copying using ftp?
2)what I might be doing wrong when installing ubb on server using install.php?
thanks!
