Welcome to OpenShift shell

  1. Openshift applications are designed to be changed and deployed primarily using git, see https://www.openshift.com/developers/deploying-and-building-applications

    Edit:
    Creating the project should have given you a git url. Since you’re using windows, you could use tortoisegit to fetch this and make changes. wp-content is in the php directory of the git repository.

    Alternatively:
    The ssh login you have is a standard linux shell, you can add plugins/themes in the app-root/data directory, using standard linux shell tools.

    [ ... ]> cd app-root/data
[ ... data ]> ls
blogs.dir  plugins  themes  uploads

    You could even use a program like WinSCP to upload files to these directories using the SSH url you already have.

  3. Use scp for linux or pscp for windows
    Add the application to system path or use cd to go to that directory, then– 

    pscp -i pvtkey.ppk source destination

    For example

    pscp -i pvtkey.ppk my_file_to_upload xxxx-cloudrun.rhcloud.com:/the_path_to_upload_in_openshift_server

    To upload a directory, use -r parameter

    pscp -i pvtkey.ppk -r my_folder_to_upload xxxx-cloudrun.rhcloud.com:/the_path_to_upload_in_openshift_server

    To Download, reverse the direction example

    pscp -i pvtkey.ppk -r xxxx-cloudrun.rhcloud.com:/dir_to_download Path_of_my_pc

    pvtkey.ppk is the private key in case of putty
    in linux, pvt key can be found on ~/.ssh

    To download a single file, remove -r paramater.
