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.

passwd
ftp - contact your virtual host provider
