   When you say "my QWK hub" - what exactly do you mean? If you're running your   
   own QWK network, then *your* BBS *is* the hub. You don't "have" a hub, you   
   "are" the hub.

   No. qnet-ftp.js is for QWKnet *nodes*.

   That's normal.

   The rlogin.js is not used in any way for QWK networking.

   The %s would be replaced with the hub's QWK-ID (*your* BBS-ID if you're the   
   hub). It's needed.

   You *can* enable the 'ask_qnet' option in the [newuser] section of your   
   ctrl/modopts.ini file if you want new users to be asked if they're a QWKnet   
   node and be automatically given the Q-restriction. But it's not strictly   
   required.

   Right.

   It looks like you have an FTP problem, not a QWK problem. Can these other   
   sysops FTP to your system and get directory listings in either passive or   
   active FTP mode? qnet-ftp.js uses passive FTP mode by default, so that'd be   
   the most important mode to test and make sure is working.
