I wanted to deploy my first app on Dreamhost, but I have no clue as how  
to proceed:  
on [http://www.railshosting.org/#dreamhost](http://www.railshosting.org/#dreamhost)

I found :  
"Login to your FTP/SSH domain (ours was [slauson.dreamhost.com](http://slauson.dreamhost.com)) via your  
favorite SSH program (we use SSH Secure Shell, but openSSH is free if  
you’re looking for one) and get to the command line to generate your  
rails app (note: if your user does not have SSH enabled you can do so by  
going to the users → manage users → edit window).

> cd [www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com)  
> rails your\_app\_name "

Is there an easy way to get through this FTP/SSH stuff without becoming  
a UNIX geek ?

Can someone refer to a tutorial for dummies… ?

Maybe you want to rethink running this on dreamhost, if you’re scared  
of a command line. Your mac has one too, if you’d like to get familiar  
with  
it locally 🙂

Just curious but how are you going to ever get comfortable with Rails if  
you  
never use the command line? rake test, script/console… Seriously,  
you’re  
gonna miss out on a lot of awesome tools if you don’t get over the fear  
of  
the command line. I hope you take this as encouragement to learn [at  
least a  
little] about the command line environment. That’s how I meant it.
