Is there a html code I can put on my website for users to download a certain file from a directory on my server drive. I was doing this with magic names and my ftp, but since synchronet has done away with ftp on version 3.19b, I need another way to do this. Also since the new browsers don't recognize most ftps either, this change is is needed to my website. Thanks in advance.

Synchronet has *not* "done away with ftp" in version 3.19b. The only FTP-related feature "done away with" was the HTML index file generation since modern browsers wouldn't render HTML files sent via FTP (for a long time now). Synchronet still supports FTP and FTPS just fine.

If you are you using ecwebv4, you create/use an http link, such as: http://web.synchro.net/api/files.ssjs?call=download-file&dir=fsx_text&file=dd_01_02.zip

Is this file imported into one of your BBS' file libraries/directories?

Are you planning on sticking with the Runemaster web UI under 3.19, or moving to webv4? (Looks like you're still using Runemaster at the moment.)

The simplest universal answer is to just copy the file into a location within your webserver's document root (see [Web] -> RootDirectory in sbbs.ini) and then add a link to it on your page (<a href="/my-file.zip">My File</a>). Depending on your setup, there may be a better way, or the method will differ.

IIRC most browsers just won't do FTP(S) anymore. If you want your file libraries to be web accessible, webv4 is probably the only readily available option.

I don't think Synchronet has done away with FTP, though. You should be able to continue running that service, and FTP clients should still be able to use it.

OK, that helps, as I can still use what I'm using now as far a my support download go for GAP on the support site. I don't need the HTML index file generation for that.

I don't use ecwebv4 for the gap support site, I still use the old runemaster for that. The only thing I use ecwebv4 for, is synchronet, so I'm assuming the html link would be different in ruinmaster, but thats a moot point since I don't have to change it now, but it still would be nice to know.

Thanks for the info.

You know me, I use both. I use the ruinmaster for the support site, and ecwebv4 for synchronet. It's still a work in progress. ECWeb is located in the do not use selection at the moment.

I was looking for the hrml link to use in the ruinmaster section under GAP support.

Yeah, DM just explaind that to me. I may just switch over compleatly to ecwebv4 compleatly, and just add a tab for my GAP Support, RA, and DNDBBS sites insted of mixing the two like I'm doing now. I just like the way I'm setup now, and a lot of work has gone into it, but I can see the writing on the wall with ruinmaster, as i'm sure it will be totaly gone soon.

I imagine that most features of the Runemaster UI will continue to work indefinitely (excepting that its link to the FTP server is no longer useful), so there's no rush to switch unless you have a compelling reason. You won't see new features or many bugfixes, is all.

I'm certainly not trying to push anybody toward webv4 unless there's an obvious benefit for them. I wrote it because I had my own ideas for how such a thing should work, and they aren't necessarily correct ideas or the only way.

That said, I'm starting to pick over webv4 and try to figure out where I left off with it. Hope to make some updates soon.

Sounds good. I like web4, but I've only been using it for the Synchronet part of my website. All I was saying, and seeing the future of Ruinmaster, I guess it would be smart of me to just focus on web4, and intergrate my GAP support site into web4. I look forward to your coming update, and thanks.
