I'm unfamiliar with Drupal
but if you can somehow do it within the Drupal admin interface would be ideal. Otherwise if you know where it needs to go in the file system then SFTP is the best option IMO. Filezilla is a good client. Make sure the VM is running and make sure you use SFTP not FTP.
Cool - SFTP method worked - Thanks again

Where to put the downloaded theme on the server?
Hello,
I am a drupal newbie and I cannot figure out where the downloaded themes are supposed to go on the Turnkey Drupal. When I ssh in the server I see 2 locations one is /usr/share/drupal6/sites/all/ and one in /etc/drupal/6/sites/all/. Which path do I use?
Thanks

Short answer: /etc/drupal/6/sites/all
Short answer: /etc/drupal/6/sites/all
Longer answer: Drupal's webroot is /usr/share/drupal6, and in its webroot it looks for sites/all. You'll notice that /usr/share/drupal6/sites/all is a symlink to /etc/drupal/6/sites/all. This is to comply with the Debian policy / FHS.
Hope the above helps.
Worked like a charm
Thank you for responding. Uploaded my new theme to /usr/share/drupal6/sites/all/themes/ and it worked like a charm. Thanks again.

I haven't read with details
but I think you want to access the site from outside your local network? If so, first, your VM must have Network Settings to bridge, and you should be able to access it from the same local network where it lives (ie 192.168.x.x).
To be able to access the VM from outside the network, you should use port forwarding at the router level. That is, tell your router (which should have an external wan ip) that any petition made to port 80 should be forwarded to the local ip of the appliance. Is that what you need?
