+* Login into Redbrick from Terminal or PuTTY (or some other SSH client).
-*Enter your public_html folder:
+* Download the script:
- <code>cd public_html</code>

   <code>chmod 400 wp-config.php</code>
 *Follow the WordPress instructions there, you will need a Mysql database at this point just email admins for one
