The Drupal One-Click application comes with Drush, a command line tool for administering Drupal., pre-installed. It allows you to upgrade Drupal easily.
First change into the directory containing Drupal:
cd /var/www/html/drupal/
To check for an available update run:
drush pm-update -n
And to update to the new release, run:
drush pm-update drupal-7.34

Amazing, thank you :) I had only used Drush for basic user based commands and managing views. So this is great. Thanks! :)
Just to update. Some might get this error.
Command pm-update needs a higher bootstrap level to run - you will need to invoke drush from a more functional Drupal environment to run this command. [error]
The drush command 'pm-update' could not be executed. [error]
Drush was not able to start (bootstrap) the Drupal database. [error]
I got this error too - I got around it by changing the password in /root/.my.cnf, (which was originally the root DB user password) to the drupal user password. That password can be found at the end of the file in /var/www/html/drupal/sites/default/settings.php where the database connection for the site is set up.
