couldnt perform improper copy command ... ??

Wondering why that MOD you have won't install correctly? Let's take a look

DO NOT give out any FTP passwords to anyone! There is no reason to do so! If you need help badly enough, create a temporary FTP account that is restricted to only the files that you need help with and give the information for that. Giving out FTP information can be very dangerous!

u will have to edit the install.txt manually, it is wrong.

find all your COPY's and remove the /

admin/admin_shoutbox.php to /admin/admin_shoutbox.php

it should be
admin/admin_shoutbox.php to admin/admin_shoutbox.php
