Please post the output of this command:

Code:

ls -l /root/spotter.exe

Also note that spotter.exe will probably only run on Windows.

That what i get from what you asked me.
Thank you for your fast replay.

So as you can see spotter.exe is not an executable file (at least not in linux). That's why you can't execute it. As I mentioned before, it's probably a Windows file.

yes it work on windows .. Is there any way to make it work on Linux ??

jdkaye · 03-15-2013, 04:55 AM

AFAIK, no, unless you try running it under wine. I have zero experience with wine so I have no idea if that would work or not.

BTW there are tons of native Linux IRC clients. In general, it's better to use a native application than bothering with WINE, IMO.

If you're looking for an IRC client with a CLI then you can try irssi.
