Hello, thanks for the response.

The full, complete error message would be helpful.

Here it is:

Error 2 copying '/home/gavin/crops.mp4' to

'/sbbs/data/dirs/uploads/crops.mp4'

crops .mp4 NOT RECEIVED!
[Hit a key]

Nothing else.

Nothing in the log output on the server?

Well I don't know how to check, but...

Have you tried uploading to any other BBSes yet?

I just tried uploading to this one and got the same exact error, although it's worth noting that I didn't get a chance to specify the actual file name because
I couldn't upload it as a Local File, which is the protocol I was using in general. I tried
KERMIT instead.

But regarding the SyncTERM log, after setting the options to Debug (All) I got nothing helpful.

Do you see the actual file transfer progress status reported in SyncTerm?

As shown above, no, I do not.

Thank you for your help with the art. But I have a new problem, and while I feel the answer is obvious, I again can't find an answer. A person who signed up to a BBS got a message saying that I need to approve them. I can't find anything about this in
the BBS itself or the config. I feel like it's somewhere in the wiki, but I'm not sure where in the sidebar I would find it.

Well it's more than you gave me originally. Does the file /home/gavin/crops.mp4
exist? Does the /sbbs/data/dirs/uploads directory exist? Does the user that the
BBS runs-as have write access to that directory?

Well I don't know how to check, but...

You need to be able to view/monitor the log output of your BBS: http://wiki.synchro.net/monitor:index

Okay, so you were using the "Local" upload feature before. Good to know.

I tried KERMIT instead.

SyncTERM doesn't support KERMIT. Use ZMODEM.

But regarding the SyncTERM log, after setting the options to Debug (All) I got nothing helpful.

Probably because you didn't actually start a file transfer. Pick a file transfer protocol that is supported by SyncTERM (e.g. ZMODEM).

Check your user base (e.g. use the ;uedit sysop command). Maybe you don't need to "approve them". I don't recall that language used in Synchronet.

Hi, thank you for all of your help! I just have one last problem.

Check your user base (e.g. use the ;uedit sysop command). Maybe you don't need to "approve them". I don't recall that language used in Synchronet.

I meant "validate". There are users getting deleted because they don't send an email asking for validation. I would like to disable that and just have them all be validated.

Open modopts.ini and set "email_validation = false" if you don't want users to have to validate email. But if you do want them to, the issue is probably that you'll really want to set an smtp relay and use something like mailgun or sendgrid to send the
mail so it doesn't get rejected or flagged as spam due to coming from a consumer IP
