* EleBBS Support List

Hi!

 

I'm having problems to install external protocols that accept LFN (Long File


Names) with EleBBS... If someone could help me, I'll be thankful! Here go my


story...

 

I've configured my BBS to run under SSH protocol, instead of telnet, for 

security reasons (password and private information doesn't pass as plain
text).

Because of it, internal EleBBS protocols doesn't work very well. I'm running
my

system at WinXP Pro plataform.

 

Then, I've installed FDSZ protocol to test performance for downloading under


ssh and noticed that it was much faster than internal ZModem, and error free


under ssh! The only problem I've found was that FDSZ doesn't support Long
File 

Names (LFN).

 

So, I've found SEXYZ (Synchronet External XYZ protocols).

At sexyz's manual, there was a section describing how to install the
protocol 

for EleBBS systems. I've followed the steps, and it works fine! The
performance

is better than FDSZ!! LFN was downloaded perfectly, but here goes the bad
part:

the BBS doesn't compute the downloads for LFN.

 

I've read the options for sexyz writing DSZ style logs. There are really
lots 

of combinations and I've testes all of them. Unfortunately, none of them
works.

 

Sexyz permits configuring this options:

* Quoted Filenames (eg: "Long File Name.txt").

* Windows Short Filenames (eg: LONG_F~1.TXT).

* Full Path (eg: C:\BBS\Long File Name.txt).

 

When I try any combination that uses Windows Short Filenames, the system 

freezes (stalls). I think EleBBS doesn't like the ~ character very much...
(?)

All other combinations results in "No files sent" message.

Short file names works well with all combinations!

 

Does anyone faces this problem? Is there a solution?

EleBBS is still under development?

Is there a possibility for a version fixing this problem, if it isn't just a


configuration problem?

 

[]'s,
