  • Silly question - QWK download

    From Fernweh@VERT to All on Mon Dec 1 18:48:23 2025
    What's the process again?

    Select groups/nets via telnet
    ftp connect
    Change to where?
    get filename
    (put wherever locally)
    mm
    ftp upload rep packet

    I seem to remember this, but can't find the old cribsheet Rob or someone posted. Maybe my search foo is getting bad as I age ;) Ubuntu/mm if that helps. No problem scripting it out for automation, I just can't remember the process.

    [Or was ftp for BBS side? I used to carry DOVENet years ago.]

    You don't need to change directory, if that's what you're asking.

    get filename
    (put wherever locally)

    The downloaded QWK file should go in the Synchronet "data" directory.

    That was me having a brain fart. :)

    I mixed up getting a qwk packet personally and Dove-Net packets when I had my board years ago.

    Can personal qwk be ftp'd?
