You need a program like CuteFTP or Bulletproof FTP to upload the file and then I would recommend using Terminal Services(install in Administrative Mode) to access and install programs on it remotely, as long as you can either access the server directly via modem or through the internet.

That's as long as the exe in question doesn't depend on dlls, ocxs vbxs, etc and is 32-bit.

To allow everyone who logs onto the server to run it, if the exe is an installation file, you would need to install either via Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, or manually put the server in install mode, if it is a terminal server.

You could just map a share and copy it via explorer, then play it locally as Admin CitrixEngineer@yahoo.co.uk

Yes....but my friend only knows how to use ftp to upload files to his server.....is there any tutorials about install programs to a server?

FTP is not used to run files, its only used to transfer files. If he need to transfer a file .from the command prompt.type FTP..then open the connection to the server (with the Open command), and then use the command "put" to transfer it. A+, MCP, CCNA
