Hi all,

New to these shell things, so I would like to ask some questions.

1. Is a shell account something like a remote computer, where I could do things like I do on my computer?
2. Is it possible for me to install mIRC on my shell account here?
3. How do I transfer my files from my computer to my shell account? Through FTP? Or some other ways?
4. Can I control my mIRC on my shell account on my computer? If yes, how should I go about doing it?

Help is appreciated!

1.it's access to a remote computer.
2. it's not possible to install any windows software on infinity.
3. you can use SSH or SFTP. Telnet and FTP are not supported.
4. you can't install mirc. You can use one of the irc clients already installed, irssi or bitchx. And yeah, those you can control on your computer.

u can install a "bouncer"
so your nickname is always on.
psybnc, znc etc are the names of the programms.
u connect your mirc to the "bouncer" everytime u want from
your PC and thats all.
go and see how a bouncer works.

Anyway i think that .exe programs is imposible to instal in all unix systems isn't i'm right? :-) mIRC is an Windows chat version of Internet Relay Chat. And unix don't have mIRC they have other chat clients ;-) Expand your knowledge about unix and windows diferences with google.com ^_^

You can emulate windows programs with wine.

You show me a shell that allows you to use X remotely to use wine to use mIRC and ill show you.

1. A dumb sysadmin whos going to get owned
2. With lots of bandwidth/computer power to toss around and
3. A new generation of idiots using shitty irc programs on semi-decent OSes.

I believe infinity still has vncserver available, I don't mind you running it as long as you kill it when you're done.

We have more than enough bandwith for you to do so

I never stated that anyone should emulate mIRC on a shell.
