Hi all,
I'm an absolute noob ?( ?( ?( in using aMule. I just got it to compile and tried to read all the articles on aMuleCmd, but I have no idea how to get this working. Much help for a noob is appreciated, perhaps one day I can give back to this community!
Here's what I want to do:
Simple connection to a webserver (maybe like DonkeyServer?).
Retrieve a filelist.
Lookup the file statistics.
But I cant even get step 1 done! 8o
I used the command: amulecmd -h 64.241.53.16 -p 4242 -P mypassword -c status
(that's the IP and port for DonkeyServer no.2). But it gives me "Connection Failed. Unable to connect to the specified host." I suppose since this works with localhost, the password I'm using is supposed to be DonkeyServer's? How can I find this password? :(
ANY help would be much appreciated!! :baby: Thanks in advance.

Hi karthur26!
amulecmd controls aMule or amuled, but not an edonkey-server. You need a running aMule(d) to search for files, start downloads and so on using amulecmd.
What you want to do is not possible, as it's not a webserver but a edonkey-server, which does not store files to download. All the files are shared by the people using an ed2k-client like aMule or eMule. You connect with your ed2k-client to the server to get information about the files which are shared (search for files) and to get sources for the files you're downloading - to connect to other clients and download what they share.

Hi wuischke,
Thank you very much for your reply!
I had originally thought aMuleCmd was a standalone program. Now you clarified that I'm supposed to use it to CONTROL amuleD. Thank you so much, it's working as expected and I can continue now.
Thank you SOOOOO much. :D :D :D
