1. first you need to upload ****.zip to public_html. memorize where this
directory is.

I DONT EVEN SEE public_html on my server SHOULD I MAKE ONE?

2.now download http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
type in ur server name. id and password
it will ask for ur login and password.

I ONLY SEE A PLACE TO PUT HOSTNAME OR IP ADDRESS AND IT NEVER ASKS YOU FOR USERNAME OR PASSWORD AND WHEN YOU DO IT YOU GET A POP UP WINDOW AND THEN NOTHING BUT A ERROR



now navigate to public_html, remember from earlier?

type /home/yourusername/public_html

something like that

now type

unzip ****.zip

now run the script by typing

php jobs.php 1 200000

and leave the computer on until it finishes.
First of all, the file is in ZIP format so it is designed for Windows servers, make sure you are not on a linux server.
Secondly, you say you have shared hosting. Putty is a SSH/TELNET client and most hosts don't allows ssh or telnet access on a shared server so i think you might need to contact your host for it.
Third your public_html directory should be there when you ftp to your hosting space, if you don't see it, try going up one dir (click the two dots "..").

Hope this helps.
