Hey All,ããHaving a little problem with SEXYZ being executed from a Javascript file... ããI looked at SEXYZ command line settings in SCFG and working from that:ãã%!sexyz%. %h -%p sz @%f%!sexyz%. %h -%p sz @%fããafter changing the values (running on *nix):ãã%! = /sbbs/exec/ã%. = ã%h = client.socket.descriptorã%p = client.protocolã%f = <FILE WITH LIST OF FILES TO TRANSFER>ããso my command is:ãã/sbbs/exec/sexyz 39 -Telnet sz @/sbbs/node1/filelist.txt ããClient is running SyncTerm and when the command executes, the download screenãin SyncTERM pops up and will *ATTEMPT* to auto download the files. Sometimes Iãsee the filenames of the files it is trying to send, but most of the times Iãsee timeouts. I hit ESCape to abort and it trys to send the next file... againãsometimes I see the filename, sometimes not, but the transfer fails...ããAnyone have thoughts? Am I missing something?ãã-- High Spiritãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Creation BBS -- bbs.digitalcreationbbs.com:2323ã

Am I missing something?ããThe correct way to initiate a download (send a file) using JavaScript is withãthe bbs.send_file() function (see http://synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html forãdetails). It possible you could setup the sexyz command-line and execute itãcorrectly from Synchronet, but it's not the "proper" way to achieve this.ãã digital manããSynchronet "Real Fact" #49:ãSynchronet program was named 'sbbs' instead of 'sync' to avoid conflict w/Unix.ãNorco, CA WX: 56.9øF, 93.0% humidity, 0 mph SE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã

Firstly, with Telnet, the session must be putãinto "binary mode" (for both directions). You could possibly use theãconsole.telnet_cmd() function to do this:ã var telnet = load(new Object, "telnet_lib.js");ã console.telnet_cmd(telnet.DO, 0);ã console.telnet_cmd(telnet.WILL, 0);ãã0 is the "binary tx" telnet command.ããAlso, that method will definitely not work with SSH (but it might with RLogin).ãã > DM> The correct way to initiate a download (send a file) using JavaScriptã > DM> is with the bbs.send_file() function (seeã > DM> http://synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html for details).
