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

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