4. try to run with command sh boinc_5.2.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh

Can you please execute it with "sh ./boinc_5.2.13_i686-pc-linux-gnu.sh"
If it did not work, can you please verify if the download was successfull, or redownload it again.

Thanks for your answer. I've reloaded the software with wget directly to my server and now I can install it.
Before this I loaded it to my PC under Windows and transfered it with WSFTP to my server in binary mode but it will not work.
