You will need to use some kind of terminal program to SSH into the server. Our suggested program is Putty.

SSH into your server, then navigate to your domain’s web root:
cd /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs
Grab the latest WP install
wget https://www.wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
Get the files out of the archive:
tar xfz latest.tar.gz
Navigate to the wordpress subfolder:
cd wordpress
Copy everything back up to the web root:
cp -rpf * ../
Navigate back up to web root:
cd ..
Remove the wordpress subfolder:
rm -rf wordpress
Remove the downloaded archive file:
rm -f latest.tar.gz
