I will try again later tonight to see if it works. When Iãconnect using my ftp client it puts me in the root directory. I see vert.qwk inãthe root directory but it says 0 bytes.

The file size is actually fake since the file is generated upon request, but the fake size reported is 10K, not 0 bytes:ãã-r--r--r-- 1 VERT VERT 10240 Feb 19 17:52 VERT.qwkãã > The file size neverã > changes even after a few days of not getting my packets.ããIt's not supposed to. Download the file and you'll get a packet (if there are new messages). Ignore the size reported in the FTP file listing, it's not relevant.ãã > Your FTP server is not picking up connections at 6:45pm i will keep tryingããAre you using dove.synchro.net address? If so, retrying will usually resolveãany "not picking" issues.ã-- ã digital man (rob)ããBreaking Bad quote #12:ã[Walt] Looks like Keith Richards with a glass a warm milk! - Hank SchraderãNorco, CA WX: 64.4øF, 35.0% humidity, 14 mph ESE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
