TheMcD 6 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Can a bot created be put on a Windows server and function? I've only ever used Linux based servers and hear of someone that had created software to "run" on a Windows server. But, from what I read a Windows server isn't ook much different than Linux, it's mainly used for ASP stuff... So, can an EXE file (bot) be uploaded to a server and set to run at given intervals? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LoWrIdErTJ - BotGuru 904 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I might be wrong but a windows server is much like a windows pc and therefore should run it without a problem. If it calls certain console commands however I would make sure they are available in that box first. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So, yeah, basically trying to see which is correct... being able to run a UBot bot on a Windows server.. and if so, what would the requirements for a uBot bot be in order to run. ???

UBotBuddy 331 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 The requirements would be the same. .Net Framework 3.5 is a critical piece of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheMcD 6 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Anyone tried this yet? I seem to find hosting for Windows 2003 Server as the main version that's out there... And I guess I need to ask if it has the latest .NET upgrades... I just don't want to go through the trouble of finding out this won't work. Would be nice if uBot people would respond themselves, as in... it should work, as there is no reason why it should and/or requirements needed, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LoWrIdErTJ - BotGuru 904 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Basically it comes down to the host. Wherever you plan to host ask them and they will let you know. Some still back on 1.1 and many up to 3.0 or 3.5 with latest SP releases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is that from personal testing, or do you "just know"... I've never worked with a Windows server before only Linux. Also, if I understand correctly, I get in and set thing with Remote Desktop, right?

JohnB 255 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 That was directly from the developers. And yes, remote desktop would be th preferred way of handling it (I mean why use a control panel when you can remote directly in right? http://ubotstudio.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
