Re: Uploading Files with long file names.

test_eight_1.txt
test_eight_2.txt

When I upload these files to vert, the short name is resolved to
TEST_E~D.txt and TEST_E~E.txt. But when I upload these files to my bbs
they both resolve to TEST_E~1.txt

How are you uploading them?

In this case I'm uploading these files using the "Batch Upload" menu which does
a blind upload.

When I use addfiles I can add the files ok its just when I upload the files via
telnet or ftp that I have a problem.

Thanks,

It's possibly a bug. If you uplod the files one at a time do you have the same issue?

Yes, I usually do upload the files one at a time. I haven't been able to get the lfn working as expected when doing blind uploads.

You also stated you had a problem with ftp-uploads?

I'm confused as to how you're accomplishing that with SyncTERM as it doesn't support batch uploads.

From the terminal system I do File System->Enter Batch Mode->Upload Files In Upload Queue.

Since there are no files in my upload queue, the upload file dialog opens in syncterm and I simply select the file. This allows me to upload the file with the LFN even though I'm only uploading one file at a time. The regular upload function only allows you to specificy an 8.3 length file name.

Ah, sorry to hear that. But welcome back!

Thanks!

Right. But you were having troubles with uploading *multiple* files at a time, which is why I asked what terminal you were using to do that. SyncTERM doesn't support uploading multiple files at a time.

I was having trouble uploading one file after the other (2 files, one at a time) that each had the same first eight characters.

As far as I know your change to bat_xfer.cpp will address the issue I was having. I was able to get the files uploaded by setting Check for Duplicates to No.

But when I listed the files in the terminal only the first file was showing and you mentioned you made a change to bat_xfer.cpp to address this.

I think your change to bat_xfer.cpp will be included in the snapshot now, so as far as I understand updating to the latestet snap shot should address my issue.

I'll give it a shot. Does SBBS support SFTP?

Nope. It does support FTPS however that doesn't seem to be working for you.

Wow.. and I thought I've been using sftp all this time.huh
