I'm re-visiting setting up the FREQ function on my system, and having trouble with it. I've edited the ../sbbs/ctrl/freqit.ini to have a "magic word" (ALLFILES) set up to a particular file directory, which is pretty straightforward. So then, from a test system I have (running SBBS as a point from my main system), I send a netmail to my main system. I've tried various "To:" names, and the subject line is: FR: ALLFILES . The point generates the crash netmail and sends it to my BBS. I watch the logs and I see the connection, and then it receives (two) .req files and deletes them both, and..... that's it. Binkit closes the connection, there are no error messages, and nothing else happens.

Does anyone have FREQ working on their system? Is there something else that needs to be set up? Not sure what I'm missing here... Thanks for info.

What are the contents of your ctrl/freqit.ini file?

; Global Keys:
; Dirs: Comma-separated list of BBS directories to allow FREQing from.
; SecureDirs: As with Dirs, but only if it is a secure session.
; MaxFiles: The max files that can be FREQed in a single request.
;
; Magic words...
; Each section name is a magic word. Magic sections support the following:
; Dir: REQUIRED. The file directory to search for the file.
; Secure: Boolean... if true, only available on secure sessions.
; Match: A wildcard to identify the file. The most recently uploaded match
; to this will be returned.

Dirs=uploads
;SecureDirs=
MaxFiles=10

[ALLFILES]
Dir=uploads
Secure=No
Match=pal*.zip

The "uploads" name is the Internal Code of that file area, which does
exist, and contains files that match "pal*.zip".

Does capitalization/case matter, I wonder? This is SBBS running on
Linux.

Thank you for any help.

There's no internal code prefix for the file library in which "uploads" exists?

and contains files that match "pal*.zip".

Maybe try a simpler test, just give an exact filename first?

It should not be case-sensitive.
