I was wondering if I could have my website act as a shell for an eggdrop. If it can't then is there anything I could do relating to dropping a bot in my chan from my site? thanks in advance..
also..someone told me to compile an eggdrop on my sites server and enable file access or install a fserve/xdcc tcl onto it. How would i do this properly?

question..
So, basicaly you can install a eggdrop from any server that has TCL 8.3.x or higher and gcc compiler and some other stuff I don't remember right now.
To install a eggdrop on your machine read this page: http://www.egghelp.org/setup.htm
To install a tcl that is running a fserve/xdcc thing read here: http://www.egghelp.org/enhance.htm (Using Tcl Scripts)
Also if you have any other questions drop a reply.

Most webhosters allow shell access to there server these days.
Many don't see the advantage, but it's a very handy tool, when the FTP isn't good enough.
However, just because they provide shell access, it doesn't mean you can run an eggdrop.
The word shell, refers to the text based interface, than enables you to access commands, files and other items from a remote computer, via a screen, that pretty much looks like a normal terminal session, used directly on the computer.
People assume that shell automaticly assume that you can used eggdrop on it.
As such, I would seriously check the discription of the account you have been provided with, then read the T&C's, and AUP's of the provider.
If in doubt, don't.
NOTE: Don't simply attempt to run eggdrop, to test if the provider allows it. As there AUP's and T&C's may well allow them to terminate access to your web, and/or account, without any warning, refund or explanation.
There are a few posts on the forum, about people complaining there account has been disabled, due to running eggdrop on web-hosters systems.
1 such post, was about the developer of a site running it. A company had hired a developer, who designed the site, and vanished without trace. There hosting account was suspended, becuase the developer decided to run a eggdrop. The provided did re-instate access, after some mess of trying to explain the situation.
