(This post is meant for DirectAdmin beginners, like me.) Finally got the chance to play with one of the production server - to upgrade the CSF Firewall. For this, I have to SSH to the server because upgrading CSF needs root access. Due to restrictions in "DirectAdmin you must login to the root shell" to upgrade csf using csf -u So I SSH-ed to the server and ran the command " csf -u ". But this time, I get the following error. -bash: csf: command not found Okay, the path to CSF is not correct, so just need to cd /usr/sbin/ Then gain root access, su - That's it, can upgrade CSF using the command " csf -u " automatically! :)
