Installing Wordpress Templates on Google Compute/App Engine

It was quite maddening to discover after using Google App Engine's one click deployment solution, I didn't have an easy way to upload files. I was used to using the App Engine's app appcfg.py tool to upload to App Engine itself, but Google Compute is an VM, and needs to be accessed via one of several different ways.


So adding the Template to Wordpress actually wasn't terribly difficult once i figured out how to connect to the VM. For me the easiest was to connect via GCloud, using the compute command. I could then SSH into the server and determine where I was, and where I needed to upload.

At the time of writing, the Wordpress install has the template folder located in wp-content. The full path /www/htrml/wp-content/themes .
