Hi all,
New Synchronet sysop here, have a question about an error message I'm seeing. I installed the 3.16c (win32) version and have it configured for basic operation. I decided to upgrade to the latest Dev version (3.17a?) b following the upgrade instructions on the Synchronet Wiki. I've done it twice now and was very careful to follow all steps, and the error I'm seein shows up each time I get it upgraded. Specifically it happens when you go to the File Transfer section, and then do a "/*" command to List Libraries. On 3.16 it works as expected but on my 3.17 attempts I get the "file not found" error. On the VERT BBS the same thing happens... I did check two other 3.17's, both running on Linux, and one had the problem and one worked properly. So, I've seen it on both Win/Linux versions, on 3.17, but never on 3.16. One other interesting thing - even on the ones showing the problem, if you do the "J" command to show all available areas/libraries, i works normally. Any ideas on this? Possible bug or what? Thanks for any info!

I run SBBS 3.17a on both Slackware Linux 14.2 on my x86_64 PC as well as >Rasbian 2.14 (Debian 9.5 Armv7.1) on my Raspberry Pi, both installs >successfully display the File Areas with the /* command ... the only Command >Shell that I know of that supports the /* hotkey is Synchronet Classic, perhap >there is something in your copy that is not up-to-date??

Well I guess that is possible, but I did follow the instructions and
completed all steps for upgrading to the latest release. Also the fact
that I see this on at least two other systems, exactly the same way,
tells me that's not it. No other misbehaving commands, either. Hoping somebody will chime in and shed some more light... Thanks.
