如何将Magento 1.6升级到magento 1.9

I am having my current website running on Magento 1.6. I am looking to upgrade it to 1.9 but don't know how to start. I went through the below articles but was not able to move ahead.

Can anyone please help me from ground level. I need to know it from scratch. I wanted to replace the below code but was not able to locate the file in my database. I am currently using filezilla to access my server file. My database is maintained by a different company called nexcess.

wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/index.php/getmagento/1.9.1.0/magento-1.9.1.0.tar.gz
wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/1.9.0.0/magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0.tar.gz
tar xvf magento-1.9.1.0.tar.gz
tar xvf magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0.tar.gz
mv magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0/media/* magento/media/
mv magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0/magento_sample_data_for_1.9.0.0.sql magento/data.sql
mv magento/* magento/.htaccess .
mysql -h DBHOST -u DBUSER -pDBPASS DBNAME < data.sql
rm -rf *.sample magento/ magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0/
rm -rf magento-1.9.1.0.tar.gz magento-sample-data-1.9.0.0.tar.gz data.sql

Please help me how to go through with it

Have you tried using Magento Connect (System > Magento Connect > Magento Connect Manager if you've never used it before) to do the upgrade? I just did it from 1.6.2 to 1.9 two weeks ago, and it went just fine for me. Very simple, didn't require any SSH.
