      22 Apr 16 01:45, you wrote to JEFF SMITH:               JS>> I guess I never paid that much attention. Is BBBS capable of providing        JS>> a Fido or FTN feed via FTP? I had a recent request for an FTP feed        JS>> but haven't upto this point looked at that capability.

But haven't looked at BBBS being capable        JS>> of feeding downlinks via FTP. I have ProFTPd installed but it is a        JS>> little overkill for the task. Anyone have thoughts?               RW> The answer to your question, to the best of my knowledge, is no. To do        RW> this, you would need a third party FTP server running and scripts written        RW> to move mail packets to and from your BBBS machine.              unless BBBS can use fileboxes and its tosser place everything in the       fileboxes... then just overlay the individual FTP user directories on the       filebox for that user... yes, dual configs to ensure that the username and       password is the same but still likely able to be done... as long as no one can       look at or get the files in the inbound, they should be ok to upload there...       t'would be better with inbound and outbound fileboxes, though...              )\/(ark              Always Mount a Scratch Monkey              ... Talk is cheap because the supply far exceeds the demand.       ---        * Origin: (1:3634/12.73)    |
