Author install pear on shared hosting with PEAR 1.4 and Net_FTP

Hi,



I want to install pear on shared hosting. My provider has a basic pear
installation but I want to use some packages that are not included.



I don't have ssh access, so from reading the Pear Manual I want to use the
recommended method..



> "New improved method using PEAR 1.4.0 and Net_FTP"




I'm working on a windows machine but hosting the site on linux. The pear
manual mentions this might cause a problem..



> "It is important to note that some packages install themselves differently

on windows and on unix.

> Be sure you know whether this is the case before installing, or ensure

Also, the manual explains that this method keeps the local and remote
systems synchronized and that a side effect of this is that..



> "the local copy will not work on the local machine"




But I need to work on my local machine!!!



My questions.



1. How do I determine which packages install differently depending on the
operating system??



2. How do I proceed if one of the packages I want to use does this??



3. Can I have two copies of pear on my local machine?? One for use locally
and one for syncing with the remote server??

hi, i used the method described on the pear site. I have the same
requirements as you have.

in my case the synchronisation does not work so I have to upload the
pear packages manually but they also work locally. I am wondering if
synchronisation doesn't work if you have two differnt os.
