Are you having trouble installing PLT scheme on your server, or running your own code on the server after PLT is installed? I'm assuming the former in the rest.
Is it a linux server? What distribution is it running, do you know?
They'll be a self-extracting shell script that you need to run. It shouldn't need root access or anything. Then just put mzscheme somewhere in your path and you're set.
Did that make sense? Feel free to email me for more details (see my profile)
The server is Apache/2.0.63 (Unix).
The only info I know about the server is from an SEO site:
http://www.kenkai.com/seo-tools-server-info.htm
Is there a way I can get more info about the server?
I have only interacted with the server using filezilla,
how do i run a script on the server?
I'm not sure, and I may be wrong, but it sounds like you may not have sufficient privileges to run arbitrary programs on that server. (Sorry) Try finding out if you can access the server using ssh. If the answer is no, consider getting a server on linode.com, or on nearlyfreespeech.net. They aren't very expensive.
I will ask my friend tomorrow. I have cyberduck and have used it to ssh into my jb iphone before, but alas never a server.
Do you know any site that has a good tutorial for what I will need to do?
You hit 'open connection' make sure ssh is the selected connection type , then input the i.p. address, username & password. http://trac.cyberduck.ch/wiki/help/en
It might be best for you to have your friend guide you through the does and don'ts, given you're not so familiar.
Also reading the Linode library might help you (if your host provider runs Linux): http://library.linode.com/ And although it's specific to their VPS set up and configurations, it's still a Linux machine so you can learn quite a bit.
