I'm a starting website admin who 2 days ago decided to make the move from shared hosting to a vps on a linux (ubuntu 8.04) platform. This opened a whole new world for me, since I never worked with the console, SSH, linux,... before. I managed to get LAMP setup after a day of wiping my disk, reinstalling my os and starting over and over again.
Now, here's the deal: The website I run is for a small gaming clan based around the online FPS urban terror. We also rent a server from gameservers.com, but they don't allow bots to be run on their server. I learned from the forums of one of these bots that I could use a script called ftptail to access the gamelog in realtime from gameservers.com using my FTP access and copy that info into a new file, which is then used by the bot on the vps to manage the gameserver.
But, when I try to run ftptail, I get this error:
Here's what I did to setup and execute ftptail.
As root user:
mkdir /home/ftptail
cd /home/ftptail
wget http://hamstersoup.com/ftpfail/ftptail
chmod +x ftptail
nano passwd.txt (I entered my ftp pw in this file)
./ftptail -f -s 1 -p passwd.txt [FTPUSERNAME]@[FTPIP(with and without :21)/q3/94.75.249.234:29760/q3ut4/games.log >out
And 'out' would be the folder that the bot would access. Everything works, upto the last command, which gave me the previously mentioned error.
I hope I didn't take too much of your time, and I apologize if this is a very noobish mistake.
I managed to solve it myself by changing the folder named after the servers ip into 'myip', I guess the script had troubles with the : or the . .
Thx for your response,
