Please get me started on my virtual server

I've been given access to a virtual server. I've worked out how to connect with it using SSH (in my unix terminal window). But I'm clueless about how to continue. The last time I made web services. I had a fancy web-based control panel. Now I just have the command line.

There are three things I need to know:-

1. What's the unix command to change my login password?

2. How do I transfer files into my account? (My log-in details said nothing about FTP, but I got an IP address, and I tried setting up FTP (in Dreamweaver) with my username and password - but that didn't work.) Is there a command line way to transfer files?

3. What's the command line to set up a MySQL database? In PHP, I want to do this:-

mysql_connect("localhost","databasename","databasepassword");

So I want to create the database with the databasename and databasepassword that I'll use in my code. (I don't need help with the programming side of things - just the command line stuff.)

Can anyone get me started? I know nothing.

NAME
uum - Kana-Kanji conversion front end processor SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/uum [-J | -U | -S | -T] [-j | -u | -s | -t] [-h | -H] [-x | -X] [-k filename] [-c filename] [-r filename] [-D hostname] [-n username] [-l number] DESCRIPTION
uum command provides a Japanese language I/O environment on the terminal. When started, uum searches and reads initialization files in the following order. 1. Files under the directory set in the environment variable UUMRC 2. $HOME/.uumrc 3. /etc/lib/locale/ja/wnn/ja/uumrc 4. /usr/lib/locale/ja/wnn/ja/uumrc uum can connect to the Kana-Kanji conversion server jserver running on the machine from which uum started or another machine over the net- work. Even when uum cannot connect to the server, it can start to complete certain operations that do not require the communication with the Kana-Kanji conversion server. When a conversion key is pressed, an attempt will be made to automatically connect to jserver if uum has not already connected to it. OPTIONS
The following options are available. -H Starts with the conversion status ON (default). -h Starts with the conversion status OFF. -U Uses UJIS code on the application (the virtual terminal) (default). -J Uses JIS code on the application (the virtual terminal). -S Uses shift-JIS code on the application (the virtual terminal). -T Uses UTF--8 code on the application (the virtual terminal). -u Uses UJIS code on the terminal.(default) -j Uses JIS code on the terminal. -s Uses shift-JIS code on the terminal. -t Uses UTF--8 code on the terminal. -X Starts with terminal flow control ON (default). -x Starts with terminal flow control OFF. -k filenaSpecifies the key binding definition file. If omitted, the difinition file is searched in the following order: 1. File name specified with the setuumkey entry in the initialization file uumrc 2. /usr/lib/locale/ja/wnn/ja/uumkey -c filenaSpecifies the key code conversion table file. If omitted, the table file is searched in the following order: 1. File name specified with the setconvkey entry in the initialization file uumrc 2. /usr/lib/locale/ja/wnn/cvt_key_tbl -r filenaSpecifies the mode definition file for roman character-Kana conversion (see wnn_automaton(4)). If a directory name is given, the mode file under the directory will be used as the mode file. If omitted, the difinition file is searched in the following order: 1. File name specified with the setrkfile entry in the initialization file uumrc 2. /usr/lib/locale/ja/wnn/ja/rk/mode -l number Specifies the number of lines to be used in Kana-Kanji conversion (larger than 0, and smaller than the number of display lines - 1). The default is 1. -D hostnaSpecifies the host name of the Kana-Kanji conversion server (jserver). If omitted, the conversion server is searched in the fol- lowing order: 1. Environment variable JSERVER 2. localhost 3. UNIX domain socket -n usernaSpecifies the user name to use for the environment name for Wnn6. If omitted, the user name is searched in the following order: 1. Environment variable WNNUSER 2. User name of the user who started uum ATTRIBUTES
