  • Re: Not getting files from hub?

    From Nodoka Hanamura@21:2/106 to Gamgee on Thu Oct 10 11:46:42 2019
    Are you actually linked to the file areas on the hub? You sent netmail(s) to 'Filefix@21:2/100' to request linkage?

    If you haven't, that's likely why. Also things have to be set up
    on your system to properly process the incoming files into the appropriate file area on the BBS.

    If I recall right, I did configure the File areas to their appropriate
    network IDs, and I even recently sent a message to FileFix to try and "subscribe" (I think that was the term) to all file bases.

    Well... "subscribe" isn't the term. Did you get a reply netmail
    back from Filefix? You should have. If you did not, something is
    not set up right. Probably a good idea to send another netmail to
    Filefix with the "%HELP" command in the body of the message (and
    your Filefix password on the subject line). This will cause Filefix
    to reply to you with a message explaining all the various
    commands/options that can be used. Save/print this and refer to it.
    Also *VERIFY* (not just "recall) that the file areas are set up on
    the BBS. Good luck!

    They are set up, Network shorthand names (i.e. FSX_IMGE) and all. Obviously since I'm not supposed to send anything out to the network, only recieve.
    I thought I set up filefix, but I'll go through it again.

    And I just got data back from THOLIAN HUB on that Filefix request, %LINKED reports the following:

    That looks good. You are connected to the file areas. The FSX_NODE and
    FSX_INFO areas are the most active. Black Panther also hatches stuff in FSX_IMGE once in a while too..

    You'll see a post in FSX_GEN when Paul hatches stuff so you'll know what
    to expect.

    Hello Nodoka,

    Okay, I'm going to have a moment of humility here and say that I cannot for the life of me understand how my node is supposed to get files from my FSXNET Hub (21:2/100).

    Umm... Have you sent a netmail to your Fsxnet file feed requesting to be connected connected to the Fsxnet file echos of your choice? Or verified any existing link connection by sending a netmail addressed to Filefix at your file
    hubs address requesting a list of linked file echos?


    To send a Filefix netmail address the netmail message to "FileFix" and place y your FileFix password on the subject line.

    On each line of the message text should be a single command which tells FileFix
    to do something. Each command acted upon and the result of the command(s) will be included in the Netmail response message which you will receive from your Fsxnet file hub.


    The commands that I recall are:

    %ALL [search] Connect to All available areas.
    %-ALL [search] Disconnect from All available areas.
    %HELP Respond with a help message
    %PWD <new password> Changes your FileFix password.
    %LIST [search] List all available file areas to you.
    %LINKED List all already linked areas
    %UNLINKED List of all unlinked areas
    -ECHOTAG Remove (unlink) a file area.
    +ECHOTAG Add (link) a file area

    I finally found out the problem.

    My dumb ass had filetoss disabled in my mailin.ini.

    I swear to god, I overlook the smallest things. Thanks for the help
    regardless, everyone.
