Hello Adil,

I'm not certain I understand your question. You have a Word file that you need to download to your system? If so, you could go to cPanel > File Manager and select to download the file there.

If this is not what you are wanting to do, then please clarify and we'll try to assist.

Thanks!

I am not getting these steps so if possible can u do that or tell me more in brief how to do this i am using linux server.

## Please use these instructions for Linux servers:
1) Log in to your server via SSH as root
2) Only if you use SuSE: Install the "at" program with this command: yast -i at
Only if you use SuSE: Start atd: /etc/init.d/atd start
Only if you use Debian: Install the "at" program with this command: apt-get -y install at
3) Use the following command to schedule the shutdown: echo "shutdown -h now" | at 01:30 June 29 2012

Do you have a cPanel server at all? On cPanel machines, atd is installed by default nowadays.

yes is cPanel server

Then it's already installed so you don't have to install it. You could just run this command instead:

echo "shutdown -h now" | at 01:30 June 29 2012

You should get a return like the following:

job 62 at 2012-06-29 01:30

This seems a very dangerous thing to be discussing on the forum here. If any other user typed in this command into their server without understanding what is being done, that server would shut down on June 29 at 1:30am.

You would run the command in SSH as the root user. If you haven't used SSH before, what is your local computer you are using to connect to your server? If it is Windows, you could use something like putty:

PuTTY Download Page

If you are using a Mac, then Terminal can be used (and typing terminal in the finder will pull it up). The login will be root with the username for the root user.

If you haven't used SSH before, cPanel forums isn't the best avenue for asking. Basic ability to use SSH is a requirement for system administration for a server.

We expect users on our forums who are the root administrator of a machine have basic system administrative knowledge, which includes knowing how to use SSH. If you are unable to log into your machine due to being unable to follow online guides for using SSH, I highly suggest hiring a system administrator for that task:

Sys Admin Services | cPanel App Catalog

We try to do the most we can in assisting customers, but a few baseline skills are required. Using SSH is one of them. If you are unable to determine how to properly log into SSH, hiring someone to help or getting ahold of your datacenter, NOC or provider for them to explain it would be the best path to take here. We have no physical way to be there to show you step-by-step on logging into SSH and it's a very basic requirement for having a server.

Probably a screen print would be a good idea to see what you are talking about.

You haven't configured the hostname to use. In the initial box when connecting with putty, you have a field for the username and you have a field for the domain or IP name. You need to enter the server's name in that other field so it will connect to the actual server.
