Re: Synchronet Long Filenames...
By: Bucko to All on Fri Jul 20 2018 08:26 pm

Hey guys in the process of setting up another BBS.. In Synchronet I am adding in file areas and every program I try to upload that has a long filename doesn't bite. Besides changing all of the file names (Which is something I really don't want to do because the file base will be shared with my Mystic Board) is there anything I can do?

On *nix, Synchronet does not currently support long filenames (however, the Windows version supports LFNs fine). I happen to be working on an implementation of a new filebase as we speak which will support LFNs on all platforms (see my post on Fido/DOVEnet SYNC_SYSOPS).
