I have a local environment I am working on and I want to use drush to install a local file/module I have that was created by a exported feature. The reason I am not doing it with update manager is because its giving me a ftp error and rather than try to solve that, I would rather bypass it completely with drush (and since drush is faster anyway).

So basically I have my main site in www/var/mysite

And i have the exported feature module in my home directory / downloads.

So how do I get drush to upload and enable my local file to my drupal site?

    With Drush, you could simply do drush en -y views, for example, and it would download the Views module.

If you already have the module / feature that you want to install on your local disk, simply copy the files to DRUPAL_ROOT/sites/all/modules. Some folks also like to create "contrib", "custom" and "features" directories inside of "modules" to better organize their files.

Once you have your files in place, run drush en featurename to turn it on.
