I tried the following:
1) Located the cvs program on the UBUNTU10 machine, it turned out to
be symlinked to:
/usr/bin/cvsnt
2) I tar:ed the cvsnt file and sent it by ftp to my website
3) On the new server I used ftp to get the tar file back
4) Then I untared it to my home dir
5) Finally I tried to check if it would run:
~$ ls -l
total 1352
-rwxr-xr-x 1 bosse bosse 943676 Jan 17 2010 cvsnt
-rw-rw-r-- 1 bosse bosse 431550 Dec 6 07:45 cvsnt.tar.gz
~$ ./cvsnt
-bash: ./cvsnt: No such file or directory
~$ cvsnt
cvsnt: command not found
This seems to me to be some kind of Linux command problem. I am used
to the Debian derivative Raspbian and there one could definitively use
these calls to run a program which was set to be executable.
What am I missing here?
Why does it say that there is no such file?
Is Ubuntu Server 16.04.3 LTE so much different?
