Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
I hired someone to transfer 2 cpanel accounts to this VPS, and also move 5 cpanel accounts into subaccounts on a separate hosting account.
This person lost my emails, and crippled my accounts for nearly a 3 weeks.
Now I find that the VPS is 100% full (20 GB of storage, but these 2 accounts should only have at MOST 2 GB total)
Due to 100% used capacity, I can no longer access the accounts via FTP, nor through GoDaddy's WHM panel
and I am told that the only way I can access them is via shell.
I need 3 things accomplished:
1: update protocols/security to include recent issues with "ShellShock" bug in BASH
(https://support.godaddy.com/help/article/12120/patching-bash-on-your-server-shellshock-patch?prog_id=GoDaddy)
2: This is an opportunity to retrieve my emails from an account which has apparently been backed up to this server. I'd like you to transfer the email accounts and messages to the cpanel account that is currently hosted.
3: Access the account, and identify what files are taking up so much space. I believe they are un-needed backups, and may be deleted, outright. Report file directory to me, and remove files as directed.
In n your reply, please demonstrate your understanding of my needs, as well as experience in SSH handling of a linux system.
