My hosting company (20i.com, who are excellent btw) had instructions for connecting to the server using Putty for Windows. They also have instructions for Mac users but I have a PC. Anyway, the first port of call was to download the software from https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/latest.html and get it installed. I then followed the instructions from 20i to create a key and connect to the server. Once connected it was a very simple process of entering a few commands (I found a very useful reference for basic SSH commands at https://www.hostinger.co.uk/tutorials/ssh/basic-ssh-commands#gref) So, for example; to move all images in the 'source' folder to a new folder called 'pictures' the commands once connected would be: cd public_html/images/source/ (move to the 'source' folder) mkdir pictures (create the 'pictures' folder) mv -t pictures pic1.jpg pic2.jpg pic3.jpg etc.jpg (move list of image filenames to the 'pictures' folder) exit I had previously compiled my list of orphaned images using Store Health Check and Notepad++ which I copied and pasted into the command line by right clicking. And that was it! I am now a convert to SSH T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
