Hi guys,
we just bought a fully managed dedicated server and the ms sql 2008 standard lic from microsoft.

Being a managed server the hosting company doesnt offer support on software.

My question is how do you remotely install the software ???

I have the files copied locally to my laptop and tried to map a drive via ftp to the remote server and it didnt work, so am uploading the files via ftp client.

Is there a better way ?

Ehi
