I have filezilla and I have to install 5 wordpresses.


Transferring whole wp catalog (unarchived) takes long and since I cant copy it, i will have to transfer it 4 times more.


and its always like that when i install new domain.


Is there a quicker way via ftp?

Do you have SSH access ? In your case I would get a script to automate the whole process.

Are you hosting locally or have hosting provider? If so many offer the automated installer script on cpanel.

I'd use Softaculous or other automated installer, but if you need to do it via FTP, then why not copy the WP install zip file and unzip it there, then run the install thru your browser

Yes, you can directly copy wordpress zip file into the folder for the domain you want to install it. Then unzip it and configure as you want. You can uplaoad using zip using ftp.

zip with 7-zip as most as you can. set compression level to Max and then unzip when the transfering is over.

Ftp it's only for transfer files, however you can upload the zip archive, and then run an extractor php script.

Google for github zip archive extractor php.

Or you can use duplicator plugin, archive the basic of wp and install on the other ones like clones, just change the DB and URL.
