Running programs on remote file servers?

hi,

i'm on a mission which requires me to run a program from a file server from the console.

i have coppied the file to the server and entered console mode... but then i dont know what to type, i tried "run -then-the-file-name" but this dont work, just gives the message "you can only run programs from the usr directory" or something like that....

so i booted that LAN viewer thingy (thinking there may be a local user server), but that showed nothing at all!

dont know what to do, can anyone help?!

Welcome to the board, Cypher.
As to your question, you have to type cd usr and type 'enter' before running the program.
