How To Enable and Use Shell Access

[rambaldi]

just type your password and hit enter
you well not see anything. not even *******. but that's normal (for security reasons)
you need root acces to install rar/unrar

If it's a linux vps/dedi you have a chance to be automaticaly temporarly banned from the server for security reasons. If you tried to many times to login.

You would need to contact your hosting provider to have them enable SSH on your account. Some shared hosting provider don't allow SSH to be enabled on shared hosting accounts. Most of them will request for you to fill out an agreement form with proof of your photo ID but that mostly depends on the hosting provider.

You can't, only your hosting provider has the root server access (and thus the privilege to install or remove packages). Since rar and unrar are CPU intensive scripts I doubt they will though.

@robert - even if his host gives him the ssh access it'll in most cases be limited and he won't be allowed to tamper with system-wide stuff as installing packages.
