• FTP PROBLEMS

    From Daryl Stout@VERT to ALL on Wednesday, November 14, 2018 11:56:00
    I tried to download the SBBS-DEV.ZIP and SBBS-RUN.ZIP earlier today
    from ftp://vert.synchro.net -- and got file error messages. Is anyone
    else having this problem??

    Thankfully, I had made a backup of my CTRL and EXEC directories
    beforehand, although nothing would extract from those attempted
    downloads.

    Yes, I asked about it the other day and Digital Man said there was an update that fixed a bug but introduced some other bugs. I imagine he'll fix it in time.

    OK, I won't worry about it.

    On another note, I did get echicken's website interface to install,
    and I liked the idea of links to the doors. But, when I went to click on
    one of them, the display window just sat there. Should I remove the ANSI designation for the doors in SCFG??

    It didn't take too long for the message areas to load, but with over
    10,000 files, it took a few minutes for all the sections to load.

    I won't be making any major changes to it, since my HTML knowledge is
    very basic. I did add the WS and WSS ports to my router...not sure if
    that'll fix the FTelnet issue or not.

    I have echicken's ecwebv4 set up on my BBS, but I haven't looked into adding links to the doors, so I'm not sure there.

    ANSI is unlikely to be the cause of the problem.

    Are you able to use fTelnet from the Home page of your website, or does it not work there either?

    Is your BBS listening for rlogin connections?

    It didn't take too long for the message areas to load, but with over 10,000 files, it took a few minutes for all the sections to load.

    This is probably inherent in the way file directories are loaded. There may be ways to improve this, but I'll have to think about it.

    very basic. I did add the WS and WSS ports to my router...not sure if that'll fix the FTelnet issue or not.

    They do need to be open so that the client's browser can connect to those services.

    When I set it up (I downloaded the deal the other day), and logged on
    under my account, there was a link to games, then links to ALL the doors
    I had!! The one I tried didn't work (it was a simple ANSI door), but I
    don't know if that was the issue. FTelnet is enabled, and I added the WS
    and WSS ports to the router as well.

    I just wonder how many are still using ASCII?? RIP is basically gone,
    as TeleGraphix, who pioneered that, went out of business over 25 years
    ago. Or, as a former local Sysop opined "I thought RIP was what you did
    to a f@r+". <G>

    From my personal page, yes. I didn't add an FTelnet link to your

    Yes...but not SSH ones.

    No rush...at least they loaded.

    That has been done.

    From my personal page, yes. I didn't add an FTelnet link to your
    setup.

    I'm not sure what you mean by that.

    The default Home page in ecwebv4 contains an embedded fTelnet client which is preconfigured to connect to the host (your) BBS. The installer endeavours to configure/enable stuff on your BBS to make this work.

    In other words, it's not something you need to add to your site, it should just be there on your Home page after installing the web UI. Is it there and does it connect to your BBS?

    Is your BBS listening for rlogin connections?
    Yes...but not SSH ones.

    SSH is not used here, so we can set that aside.

    RLOGIN is important because the protocol allows us to pass some data along to the server when initiating a connection. We can tell the BBS which user to log in and what game they want to play, allowing for a seamless connection to your terminal server that goes straight to the game.

    By contrast, the fTelnet client on your home page uses TELNET and the user must type in their credentials after connecting, and they are not brought straight into any external program; they go through the normal login process and into a command shell.

    They do need to be open so that the client's browser can connect to
    those services.

    That has been done.

    Did it change / help anything?

    If not, can you look in your ctrl/services.ini file and confirm that only the [WS] service is listening on port 1123. It's possible that you have something else ([WebSocketTelnet] or something) already configured to use that port. (Checking for this is something I need to add to the installer.)

    The [WSS] service is the 'secure' instance of the same service. This one only matters if you serve your site over HTTPS.

    This is probably inherent in the way file directories are loaded.
    No rush...at least they loaded.

    It's only likely to affect people with huge amounts of files, but then sysops tend to hoard vast amounts of ancient software and other such things. I'll get to it at some point as I'm sure it will affect others.

    Eventually there will be a version 5 that takes a somewhat more modern approach to many things, working with and around some of the bottlenecks in loading messages and files. Not anytime soon, but something I mean to tinker with now that this iteration is fairly stable.

    By: echicken to Daryl Stout on Sat Nov 17 2018 03:30 pm

    I'm not sure what you mean by that.

    A separate FTelnet URL -- I'm using an embedded telnet link to get in, and that's how I'm doing this post. But, from your website interface, after that Synchronet Logo ANSI, when I click on any of the door links, nothing really happens.

    The default Home page in ecwebv4 contains an embedded fTelnet client which is preconfigured to connect to the host (your) BBS. The installer endeavours to configure/enable stuff on your BBS to make this work.

    In other words, it's not something you need to add to your site, it should just be there on your Home page after installing the web UI. Is it there and does it connect to your BBS?

    Well, as noted above, nothing changes with that window that starts with the Synchronet ANSI logo. I can get to the message areas, and file areas, navigating both. The Games deal brings up all the door categories, but when I click on any of the links, it's as if nothing happens in that "window".

    SSH is not used here, so we can set that aside.

    Good...I was getting slammed by a ton of bots. I've also added a bunch of country codes and host names to the ban bucket, as by and large, the login attempts are obvious bots (Root, etc.).

    RLOGIN is important because the protocol allows us to pass some data along to the server when initiating a connection. We can tell the BBS which user to log in and what game they want to play, allowing for a seamless connection to your terminal server that goes straight to the game.

    That is enabled. I'm using SyncTerm as the regular telnet client, but decided to use the embedded FTelnet external link to logon...as I'm monitoring events in the background.

    By contrast, the fTelnet client on your home page uses TELNET and the user must type in their credentials after connecting, and they are not brought straight into any external program; they go through the normal login process and into a command shell.

    That's what I saw with using it from the FTelnet link...although the macro with SyncTerm makes a quick and easy logon.

    Did it change / help anything?

    Still no response with the links in the Games category from the website. Everything works fine with the external embedded FTelnet link, or with a telnet logon.

    If not, can you look in your ctrl/services.ini file and confirm that only the [WS] service is listening on port 1123. It's possible that you have something else ([WebSocketTelnet] or something) already configured to use that port. (Checking for this is something I need to add to the installer.)

    I checked that, and even with SCFG, and that's the only thing using that port.

    The [WSS] service is the 'secure' instance of the same service. This one only matters if you serve your site over HTTPS.

    I enabled both, but I don't know if the site is served over HTTPS.

    It's only likely to affect people with huge amounts of files, but then sysops tend to hoard vast amounts of ancient software and other such things. I'll get to it at some point as I'm sure it will affect others.

    Well, considering my BBS has been up since 1992, that's why I've got over 10,000 files...I've picked up a few along the way. <G>

    Eventually there will be a version 5 that takes a somewhat more modern approach to many things, working with and around some of the bottlenecks in loading messages and files. Not anytime soon, but something I mean to tinker with now that this iteration is fairly stable.

    OK, I'll keep watch for it. I originally had trouble setting up your interface, but except for this "games link issue" on the website, everything else seems to work just fine.

    Still no response with the links in the Games category from the website. Everything works fine with the external embedded FTelnet link, or with a telnet logon.

    The 'external embedded fTelnet link' is likely using its own WebSocket proxy service and your local one is not involved. The role of the WebSocket service is described on this page:

    https://github.com/echicken/synchronet-web-v4/wiki/ftelnet

    Your WebSocket service is not working properly. I don't know why. I just tried it, and it disconnects me immediatley after connecting. There may be some useful information in your Services log.

    Has your BBS been restarted since you ran the web UI installer?

    I checked that, and even with SCFG, and that's the only thing using that port.

    Interface and port assignment for servers & services is pretty much only done in sbbs.ini and services.ini. I don't think you'll see anything relevant to this problem in scfg.

    I enabled both, but I don't know if the site is served over HTTPS.

    In your case HTTPS is not in play. You can dispense with the [WSS] section in services.ini. It's only needed for secure WebSocket clients.

    Also of note, wx1der.dyndns.org does not resolve. You may want to check on your dyndns client or update your origin line to reference tbolt.synchro.net which does work.

    Due to the DYN updater, as well as yearly cost, wx1der.dyndns.org is
    no longer available -- it's only to tbolt.synchro.net -- I may have
    forgotten to change the origin line in SCFG.

    Charles,

    Did you do Telegraphix or telegraphic? TeleGraphix is a company..or the Main CS>company that used to write various RIP programs..editors...term programs, et

    That's what I thought. One former area Sysop quipped that "RIP is what
    you do to a f@r+". <G>

    I have the DeadPaint program to edit or create RIP screens...and I
    used a menu template to do such when I did menus when I ran GT Power
    software.

    I don't think DeadPaint can be registered anymore...but what got me
    was the docs that noted "Dead is a registered trademark of The
    Undertaker, and Doctor Jack Kevor... never mind". <G>

    Thanks for the update...I'll download stuff from it later today...before
    I go into "turkey coma". <G>

    I just wonder how many are still using ASCII?? RIP is basically gone,
    as TeleGraphix, who pioneered that, went out of business over 25 years

    Just wondering what was telegraphic? I did a search on the internet and I am getting a lot of search results that match that.

    Did you do Telegraphix or telegraphic? TeleGraphix is a company..or the Main >company that used to write various RIP programs..editors...term programs, etc >Regards,

    If I remember right, it was TeleGraphix -- they pionnered RIP

    That's what I thought. One former area Sysop quipped that "RIP is what
    you do to a f@r+". <G>

    LOL!

    I have the DeadPaint program to edit or create RIP screens...and I
    used a menu template to do such when I did menus when I ran GT Power software.

    Deadpaint! I can't believe I forgot about that program! I liked it so much I registered it, I wasn't, and never was a good artist, but Deadpaint made it alot easier. I'm gonna see if I can find a copy someplace

    I've got the shareware copy over here...but I think the registered
    copies were hard coded...and you can't just "enter a key" to register
    it.

    copies were hard coded...and you can't just "enter a key" to register
    it.

    I downloaded Deadpaint a few months ago, I didn't even bother to try to install it. I think I am. I wonder if it's a registered copy or not

    I remember the difference between the shareware and registered
    programs, was that the key was hard coded. Unfortunately, I don't think
    it can be registered anymore.

    When the company dies or the author decides to no longer their software they take the programs with them.

    From what I understand, there are issues with ftp.synchro.net and
    trying to download stuff. Digital Man is aware of it, but I'm not sure
    when he can get it fixed. So for now, I'm not applying any further

    Thanks for the update.

    I think there are some words missing, or my reading comprehension for 2019
