counter-strike source server hldsupdatetool.bin

http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/08/18/how-to-run-a-dedicated-steam-server-on-your-ubuntu-box-countestrike-style/

the .bin file IS a program, it's a Linux binary

ok i am missing something as i am too new to linux, ubuntu. i tried to follow the guide mentioned above.

i get to chmod +x and i am stopped dead in my tracks. i am not root therefore i do not have permission.

so i tried another route by not putting it in root and then i can get the file downloaded then i still cant get the dag thing to chmod +x so it gets the ./ before it so it still wont execute.

i am thankful for the input but it seems i am spinning my wheels

if you need access you don't have, prefix the command with sudo and you will
 the guide shows making the steam directory in the root of the filesystem, so you will need sudo for each command. Instead you can run:

sudo -i

and you can do as you wish. When you are done, typ:

exit

and the interactive sudo will be ended.

root@ubuntu:~/srcds# chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
root@ubuntu:~/srcds# dir
hldsupdatetool.bin
root@ubuntu:~/srcds# chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
root@ubuntu:~/srcds# dir
hldsupdatetool.bin
root@ubuntu:~/srcds# ./hldsupdatetool.bin
-bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory
root@ubuntu:~/srcds#

this is my problem any suggestions
and yes the first thing i typed was sudo -i

and i dont get the denied access but i still cant get anywhere

did you make an alias for ls to dir ?

try:

sudo chmod +x /srcds/hldsupdatetool.bin; sudo /srcds/hldsupdatetool.bin

May work.

root@ubuntu:~/srcds# chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
root@ubuntu:~/srcds# dir
hldsupdatetool.bin
root@ubuntu:~/srcds# chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
root@ubuntu:~/srcds# dir
hldsupdatetool.bin
root@ubuntu:~/srcds# ./hldsupdatetool.bin
-bash: ./hldsupdatetool.bin: No such file or directory
root@ubuntu:~/srcds# sudo chmod +x /srcds/hldsupdatetool.bin
chmod: cannot access `/srcds/hldsupdatetool.bin': No such file or directory
root@ubuntu:~/srcds# cd
root@ubuntu:~# sudo chmod +x /srcds/hldsupdatetool.bin
chmod: cannot access `/srcds/hldsupdatetool.bin': No such file or directory
root@ubuntu:~# dir
srcds
root@ubuntu:~# cd srcds
root@ubuntu:~/srcds# dir
hldsupdatetool.bin
root@ubuntu:~/srcds# sudo chmod +x hldsupdatetool.bin
root@ubuntu:~/srcds# dir
hldsupdatetool.bin
root@ubuntu:~/srcds#

i can not for the life of me figure out and may be that no one can, why i can not get the chmod +x to work on this file.

is there something wrong with the way it is typed a space where there shouldn't be or what?

is there another piece of software i need to add to my ubuntu system to allow me to use chmod +x

i am really needing this to work as i am trying to get this going for a young friend for christmas

problem not really solved am starting new as clear no one knows.
