One would think they'd know considering they'd have had to buy a shell account and select a particular package and then pay for it.

if he could upload eggdrop to ftp on shell he probably have shell acess d00h? at least i had it he has shell acess 100%, so just follow those instructions that ppl gave you here and your eggdrop will work 100%, but you'll have to edit your eggdrop.conf, that's not really hard, just read and read

Don't think he have it.I saw such questions like 10 times allready.People thoght they can run eggdrop if they only have ftp

Not neccessarily. He just said he had an FTP. I have an FTP too. It's certainly not a shell. He just needs to find out if he has a shell as well, and seeing as he doesn't know, the answer is most likely no.

if you don't already know, the most likely answer is you don't.
Other than that, let's experiment!!

Download Putty (goto www.download.com and search for it)

use this client, for the address, put in your FTP address and select "SSH"
and then click "open"

It''ll ask about cachine the servers host key or some rubbish you don't care about. click yes.

If the server responds with "Login:" type your ftp user account.
then it'll ask for a pass. respond with your ftp pass.

if it lets you in, you have shell access! if not, you don't.

If you want a shell, look around on the homepage of egghelp.org, it lists places you can get them, or where you can rent eggdrops for use

You cannot setup an eggdrop using only an FTP server. Setting up eggdrop requires a Shell, where you can login, compile, and run the eggdrop. The only use you'll have for the FTP is to upload the Tar, or possibly upload scripts and conf files.

If you do not have access to a shell, you can stop trying to run eggdrop now.

If you do, here's what you'll do (in a nutshell)-

Login to your Shell (I'm going to assume you use windows.) With a program like Putty.

Once in, go to the directory where you uploaded the .tar.gz and type

tar zxvf

where filename is the .. well, filename of the tar package.

then type ls and cd, and go into the directory that just made (something like /eggdrop1.6.17)

In this directory, type

"./configure"

and then

"make config"

and then

"make"

and then

"make install"

You'll need TCL to compile this, but if you're using a shelll provided by any company of any sort it should already have that, so you shouldn't have to worry.

This will install eggdrop into /eggdrop of your user directory, so go to..

/home//eggdrop

(where...yourusername is your username..of course, without the brackets)

and then locate eggdrop.conf.

You can download this with the FTP and edit it with notepad if you'd like,
or you can use pico or nano or vi etc to do it in the shell.

Either way it needs to be edited and read very, very, very carefully.

And when you've edited that conf, you can type (in /home//eggdrop/)

"./eggdrop -m"

and It'll create a new user file and start up and join the channel you specified and all kinds of magic!!

when the bot pops on IRC, msg it "hello" so it'll recognize you as master. from there,

you have a lot of help files to read. egghelp.org has an amazing amount of resources and is VERY easy to follow if you just sit and read. Just focus.

/me bangs his head on the table

did you even look at the link i posted in my first post?!

ok, listen carefully...

I have absolutely no clue how to do this shell and telnet stuff...
all I have is the ftp...so please take me step by step through the installation.

I know it sounds silly...but the "official" setup guide is too complicated!
