is it normal to not have in ssh acces to wget command. Who from here has acces?

wget should work. I would fill out a trouble ticket to support to ask why it doesn't.

One of the biggest reasons for having SSH access is to be able to use the wget function, so I don't think they took it away on purpose.

Please don't say that. HOSTONY doesn't discriminate and neither do we (forum memebers.)

I would ask support to login to your SSH and try a wget on some random FTP file and see if they can do it. It might also be a problem with your program(s) for SSH.

I use Putty - You should too.

as I know wget was blocked last year for most servers.

Why you need wget ?

If you use it to execute scripts from url with a cron or something you need use cURL, wich is installed on all servers.

P.S. Hello guys! I'm still in vacations, but business is business and I need come only from time to time wink.gif

cozmine,

we do not allow executing wget on our servers for security reasons only. As Martin stated above, you can use cURL instead.
I can't but agree with Mark too. You can download and install your own software as well (Putty client is preferred) and use it the way Mark does.
