I just changed web hosts and now have shell access to my account. However the only thing I know how to do is navigate aroudn the directories and tar or untar files. If anyone knows a good shell tutorial or a site with commonly used commands I would be very grateful.

Which shell? There are a few, and they seem to be a little different...

Here is a tutorial for Bash (Bourne shell) http://steve-parker.org/sh/sh.shtml

It seems to be geared mostly towards scripting, but there are links to other tutorials.

I'm using putty, but I"ll check the link you provided.

The most useful thing about shell access was the ability to set up server side email filtering. Spam filters that download all your POP email and then delete them on the client side somewhat defeat the purpose. It was nice to set up filtering rules and have emails sent to dev/null. Also you could set up a bot that would automatically reply to any email sent, in the spirit of "your email is important to us, but do to high volumes we cannot guarantee a response to everyone...".
