Total newb! Stuck on Eva :)

Hi all ;)

Upgrading from 3.0.12 to 3.6.0

I got to stage 4 of eva2000 update method all went well. Problem is I'm a little confused.
create a new temp directory on your forum site and then upload latest upgrade vB php files in the downloaded vB zip file (upload folder contents) to this temp directory

Do I create this temp folder in my existing ftp account?

Part 2

Also how do I know that I'm uploading in?
Make sure you upload these files in ASCII format


I use ace ftp client

Thanks in advance ;)

OK I found out how to complete the ASCII format.

Am I right in creating the temp directory in the main ftp account? I done it anyway & uploaded the files.

Just in case I was right?


Next problem where do I find these?
Removing hacks: It's at this stage if you have hacks on your database, you can remove them from this test duplicate copy of your database you just created in step 3 - which has your imported back up sql file from step 4. This leaves all hacks and php edits intact on your live original database untouched. All you are doing is removing hacks and php edits from a copy of your original database


Thanks again ;)
