Can't Udate to Launcher 0.9 from 0.6 on ATV running 2.3

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
I tried to follow the installation instructions:
1. Download Launcher
2. Enter the following into  terminal "scp  XBMCLauncher-debug-0.9.run 
frontrow@appletv.local:"
3. Enter: "sudo sh ./XBMCLauncher-0.9.run"

What is the expected output? 
A prompt  to restart finder.

What do you see instead?
An error message, "no such file or directory."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Launcher 0.9, ATV 2.3, Mac o/s  10.5.6

Please provide any additional information below.
Here is the contents of my Terminal window (I double spaced the hard line 
breaks):

G5:~ neil$ scp  XBMCLauncher-debug-0.9.run frontrow@appletv.local:G5:~ neil$ 
scp  
XBMCLauncher-debug-0.9.run frontrow@appletv.local:frontrow

Welcome to the AppleTV (via atv-usbcreator)

frontrow@appletv.local's password: 

scp: frontrow: No such file or directory

Thanks,
Neil

Hi Neil,

I just updated the Installation page in the wiki and made it more explicit. 
Looks like you missed the "login to you 
appletv" part. Please check again the instructions and see if it works now.

cheers,
stephan

After a lot of trial and error, it looks like their is a problem with the final 
command:
sudo sh ./XBMCLauncher-0.9.run

That doesn't match the name of the file we downloaded.  I changed the command 
to:
sudo sh ./Launcher-0.9-debug.run

and that seemed to work.

the first scp to your ATV should have already failed.
again:
1) copy the downloaded file to your ATV
2) ssh into you ATV 
3) execute the file you copied in step 1) to you ATV

Anyways, if you see version 0.9 on your ATV, I'm glad it worked ;)

Yes, I finally have XBMC back on my ATV.  You are right  the first step did 
fail.  The reason I knew was because 
Davila told me to use the ls command to see what files I had.  He also had me 
use the following command:
scp /Users/neil/Downloads/Launcher-0.9-debug.run 
frontrow@appletv.local:/Users/frontrow

Hmm... now that you mention it.   I see he  changed the name of the file there. 
 I didn't even examine the 
command that closely to see what he changed.  I thought  it was all about 
putting the file in a specific ATV 
directory.   Well, I am a happy camper now that I have my XBMC back again 
thanks to the two of you.

I don't know how many XBMC users are as computer illiterate as I am,  but 
Davila also told me that I had to put 
the file path in the command.  By luck, I happened to know that Terminal will 
tell me the file path if I drag a file 
to the Terminal window.  That might be useful info to other newbies.
