Filename truncated when uploading via ;UPLOAD at the menu

Hi DM,ããI noticed something while doing some testing today. I wanted to upload a file to my filebase on my BBS to test removing files, so I created a text file that I called fakeUpload.txt (and added a string in it that just said "Test"). While logged onto my BBS, on the file menu, I used the ;UPLOAD string command to upload it. When it prompted me for the file description, the filename was truncated to fakeUplo.txt. However, when listing files via JavaScript, it looks like it has the full long filename.ããI'm not sure if this is a known issue, but I wanted to let you know.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

If you use a wider terminal, the full filename can be displayed in listings in the terminal server too. And the [E]xtended info on the files will always show the full filename (or at least, up to 60 or so chars, depending on terminal width).ã-- ã digital man (rob)ããBreaking Bad quote #36:ãClearly his taste in women is the same as his taste in lawyers...ãNorco, CA WX: 62.1øF, 14.0% humidity, 0 mph NE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrsã---ã þ Synchronet þ Vertrauen þ Home of Synchronet þ [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.netã
