Hi

I have a connection to a linux server by using Putty SSH. I want to set up a socks proxy server there. I have the source distribution for 3proxy and i had already compiled it.Everything was ok. But when i try to run -- this error occour.
sh-2.05b$ sh 3proxy


3proxy: 3proxy: cannot execute binary file
sh-2.05b$


I run the 3proxy ASF executable using sh 3proxy command. 3proxy is the socks proxy I wanna host . It have manual for windows but linux manual is under construction. ALso i m a newbie , i dun know how to get what linux distro is..

any help will b gr8ly appreciated.

I'm not certain this will work, but you could try. cd to the folder where sh.3proxy is located, and ./sh.3proxy instead of sh.3proxy. The ./ tells sh to look in the pwd for the file sh.3proxy.
I'm just guessing here. Apologies if I offend with my ignorance.

with sh (shell) you can only run shell scripts. executables are started with /path/to/executable/3proxy. or you swith to the directory containing the executable and type
./3proxy

did you only 'make' or did you also run 'make install' ? make install should place the files in PATH directories so you could just type 3proxy
