All,

Is there a linux/Synchro Utility that I can add missing files to my file
area? I imported files, but seems that they only read the file_id.diz from
the *.zip files. I have arj and tar too that for some reason it's not reading into...

Thanks

When I add files without a file_id.diz I create a files.bbs with the files I want to import..

filename.ext Description line one
Description line two
filenam1.ext Description line one
Description line two
filenam2.ext Description line one
Description line two
Description line three

and then use addfiles in the exec directory to import them. Addfiles has a lot of options.. just run exec/addfiles to see them.

Ttyl :-),

... All right, so I like spending money! But name one other extravagance.

All,

Is there a linux/Synchro Utility that I can add missing files to my file

I have a suite of tools for managing files on a linux synchronet bbs. For example tou can run one script to add files in the current directory to the BBS's file area, and then after you are done adding those you run another script to post a message to a group in the bbs. I can give you the direct link to download at https://SYnchronetBBS.org or even better you can clone it on github. Ask me if you can't find "bbs_utils" there...

http://wiki.synchro.net/util:addfiles

Addfiles will only know how to extract from .zip files unless you configure sbbs to recognize other compression formats.

I'm running 7-zip under windows, but here's what I use to get into .tar files... (you can find this bit under "scfg > File Transfer Configuration > Extractable files...")

+-------------------------------------------+####
| Extractable File Type |#### |-------------------------------------------|### #
| |File Extension tar |####
| |Command Line 7z x -y -o%g %f %s |####
| |Access Requirements |#### +-------------------------------------------+

There's also a section in echocfg where you can setup archive types check out: http://wiki.synchro.net/util:sbbsecho

for more information, look for archive types on the page.

I have settings for a bunch of compression types, lemme know if you need help.

The problem is they have file_id.diz in them, it will import the files, but won't add the description. it's doing it for the *.zip files. it will import all my *.arj, *.tar files, but won't extract the file_id.diz from those. I
have like over 10k+ files that it didn't exact the file_id.diz from.

Thanks

If you have ARJ and TAR configured correctly as "Extractable File Types" in SCFG->File Options, then it will extract and import the file_id.diz from those file types.

Look Guys! I'm helpful!

Hope you got it working. I love old compression schemes and I love that SBBS lets me use them. I carry a lot of Atari files and, for example, the .zoo compression scheme was kind of a pain to get working correctly...

+[*][?]--------------------------------------------------+
| Compressable File Type | |--------------------------------------------------------|
| |File Extension zoo |
| |Command Line zoo ahqqqC %f %s < %zbbs-ad.txt |

Compresses and adds my bbs comment at the top.

Here's the compression line for tar using 7z...

+[*][?]-------------------------------------------+
| Compressable File Type | |-------------------------------------------------|
| |File Extension tar |
| |Command Line 7z a -ttar -y -w%g %f %s |

and good ole .zip...

+[*][?]------------------------------------------------+
| Compressable File Type | |------------------------------------------------------|
| |File Extension zip |
| |Command Line 7z a -mx9 -tzip -y -w%g %f %s |

-mx9 = ultra compression. :P

Indeed it is. I don't have 7z on linux but I do have p7zip. I'll have to try that one day when I have the time and see if that is doable.

I'll share my extractable, viewable and testable command lines for rar files below for those interested.

Viewable files

unrar -la -cfg- %f

Extractable files

unrar x -cfg- -cu %f %s %g

Testable files

unrar t -cfg- %f

That's what the issue is, I have the arj/tar files installed, I don't know
the syntax to add to sbbs.cfg

Thanks!

Beating Digital Man to an answer, and getting it right is a challenge around here...

I did *once*, I think DM was under the weather at the time. :)
