    how do you ul with ftelnet?

    The fTelnet instance you're using has to have file transfer support included. It also seemingly needs to have the menu bar enabled and visible so that you can find and click the 'Upload' button. I got this far and couldn't get it to transfer a file, and I don't care enough to go further.

    Not sure if it's relevant, but by default my web interface does not load an fTelnet version with file transfer support. Additionally the menu bar is hidden by default. I suspect these were conscious decisions on my part after testing some features.

    In any event, whether you can even attempt to upload a file is dependent on how the host/sysop configured their fTelnet embed. Whether it works even when enabled may depend very much on browser/platform/whatever. The author has some notes here and there suggesting people have had mixed results.

    In short: it might work, it might not, I wouldn't bother.

    fTelnet can be configured to have a bar of options at the top, and one of them is "Upload". You can use the YModem-G to transfer files with fTelnet.

    I've heard you can use the YModem-G protocol to transfer files with fTelnet. I haven't actually done any file transfers with it though..

    I attempted a YModem G transfer last night. No go. Maybe it works in some browsers, etc.

    If it's on a website, my previous points stand: the site you're using it on has to be serving fTelnet with transfers enabled, and with the menu available.

    Here is an idea, use a real computer. That would solve your headache and then you could stop causing the rest of us one.

    Or here is a novel idea, do some research yourself. I'm pretty sure you could use google on your ipad without needing to upload anything. There you will
    find what I did, no known way of uploading using legacy protocols such as Y-modem and Z-Modem and an iPad.

    I'm not sure what you mean.. I was referring to the version of fTelnet that is a component for web pages and is loaded on the server (I know there is a mobile app for Android though, but I'm not sure if there's an fTelnet app for iOS). For the web-based fTelnet, it shouldn't matter that you're using iOS. You just need a standards-based web browser (a browser that supports HTML5).

    I know what you're talking about and I know what I'm talking about.

    You're talking about this page where Nightfox is using an old, old version of fTelnet:

    http://digdist.synchro.net/fTelnet-standalone/fTelnet-DigDist.html

    This version of fTelnet has a "button bar", which are the buttons across the top (including Download,
    Upload, and Keyboard). The "button bar" was removed from fTelnet in 2015, and was replaced with a "menu
    bar" which provides a pop-up menu. Options in the pop-up menu include Keyboard, Upload, and Download
    (among others).

    I shared some info with DM to let him know how to enable the menu bar as well as file transfers. If he
    does this, it'll give you your ul and dl and the pretty cool keyboard with the windows logo on it.

    I just tried updating those files in my ecwebv4 and setting those options in my modopts.ini. I see the menu bar, but I don't see a file transfer option. In the menu pop-up, I see Connect, Disconnect, Copy, Paste, Keyboard, and Full Screen.

    Ah yes - I forgot to mention that the file transfer option won't show up right away. It should be there
    if you reload the page 24 hours from now.

    You can also delete /sbbs/temp/ftelnet.url (or, as it apparently appears on my system,
    /sbbs/ctrl/tempftelneturl, whoops) to force a refresh.

    no im talking about the one that nightfox uses. it has ul and dl on it and even a big keyboard with the windows logo on it. it's pretty cool.

    It's the same software.. We're both using fTelnet. There are just some configuration options that he'd need to set.

    You're talking about this page where Nightfox is using an old, old version of fTelnet:

    http://digdist.synchro.net/fTelnet-standalone/fTelnet-DigDist.html

    I have a newer version on my main page (which is being used with ecwebv4). I should just ditch the old version..

    hey dm, why don't you set up the ftelnet that you can ul and dl? it would be helpful for people like me that have a hard time with feature. thanks.

    If you're referring to web.synchro.net, that's a stock ecwebv4 interface with the default configuration of ftelnet.

    If you goto http://vert.synchro.net/ftelnet.ssjs instead, you'll see there is a a menu with upload and download options. Try that?

    IIRC to make this available, you will need the latest versions of:

    lib/ftelnet.js
    pages/.examples/000-home.xjs (copied to pages/)

    And in modopts.ini->[web]:

    ftelnet_xfer = true
    ftelnet_menubar = true

    I have those set now, but don't seem to be getting the upload and download menu options. :-/

    Yup, that fixed her up. But that temp_dir usage needs fixing. I'm not clear if that's your bug or mine just yet, but I had the same file over here:
    /sbbs/ctrl/tempftelneturl
    Pretty weird.

    That seems to have fixed it.

    Just updated to the latest dev, and now when I go to the webpage and click "Connect via Telnet" the box turns gray. I have had this problem before, but dont remember how I fixed it, If I use http://127.0.0.1 instead of domain name it works just fine.
