Hey All,

So finally got the file bases working with fsxNet. I'm receiving new files as expected and also tested the %rescan function to filefix and it did receive the file (GALLERY.ZIP) and tossed it to the correct filebase. (FSX_DOOR) The issue is, a few minutes later, it looks like it tried to send out the file I grabbed from my hub back out again to him:

I took a look, but didn't find an option in either the file base configuration or in tickitcfg for it to ignore all of the fsxNet-based file bases and just set them basically to receive only. (not send anything) I''m hoping there's some switch somewhere i didn't notice; I don't want to inundate poor Avon with unnecessary traffic!

Thanks!

The log entries you want to look at are for TickIt (not BinkIt). Also, posting your tickit.ini file contents might give us a clue where you went wrong.

So looking at the tickit.ini, I thought that I might have the source/linked backwards, but when I go into source address, it gives me "no source address" and my fido and fsx node numbers. I don't have anything set under global.

I just re-read the wiki article.. it sounds like I don't want a source address specified, and just want the links... is that what I goofed on?

Source Address Use this selected address for files sent to other systems linked to this FDN area; NOTE: Overrides default use of first FTN address in the System Address List as well as global address selection methods

DM can correct me if I am wrong, but I think that "Links" entries are for
nodes that get the file echo *from* you. I don't think you want the system that you receive the file echo from to be listed.

I just checked my tickit.ini and I do not have the originating system
listed in my Links entries. I only have systems listed that get the file
echo from me. Right or wrong, I also don't have SourceAddress coded for
any of the FSX file echos (my echo entries don't include that line at all).

I am pretty sure that having Avon's system listed as in Links is why your system is trying to send it back to Avon's.

So it looks like that's actually the culprit? If this is the case, should I leave the source address and links in the tickit.ini and remove that echo list from sbbscfg?

No, no, and no.

I believe you said you are just receiving files from your upstream hub,
and NOT sending them on to any downlinks.

The 'Links' keyword is *ONLY* used when you have downlinks that you want
the files to go to. If the Wiki says otherwise it is wrong. You
absolutely do NOT need to specify a Source Address, either.

For your use case, as a receiver-only of files from upstream, you only
need two lines:

[FSX_NODE]
Dir=fsx_node

That's it. That's all. Repeat for other connected areas. Your system
is sending the files back to your hub *BECAUSE* you have the "links"
keyword defined. The "Dir" referenced there must already exist in SCFG.

*NONE* of the other stuff you showed in your example tickit.ini should
be there.
