Hi guys,

Trying to make ecwebv4 and fTelnet working so users can connect to the BBS via website.

If I access the BBS website locally it connects via Telnet by clicking on Conect via Telnet. If I access my website http://mash40777.ddns.net:4077 which is portforwarded to 80 on my BBS machine it shows the website but isnt able to connect via telnet.

Any help appreciated.

I tried to change the IP listen address from 0.0.0.0 to its local IP but that didnt work.

OK 1st question, what port is your BBS using?
2nd questionm, do you run your own proxy server?
port 80 is generally used for web I tried your BBS using ftelnet using ports :4077 and :23 no connection.

OK I got your problem solved, just goto your webv4 folder then your pages folder open 000-home then cut the script below and paste it over the the ftelnet script in your 000-home.

<div id="fTelnetContainer" class="fTelnetContainer"></div> <script>document.write('<script src="//embed-v2.ftelnet.ca/js/ftelnet-loader.norip.xfer.js?v=' + (new Date()).getTime() + '"><\/script>');</script>
<script>
var Options = new fTelnetOptions();
Options.BareLFtoCRLF = false;
Options.BitsPerSecond = 115200;
Options.ConnectionType = 'telnet';
Options.Emulation = 'ansi-bbs';
Options.Enter = '\r';
Options.Font = 'CP437';
Options.ForceWss = false;
Options.Hostname = 'mash4077.ddns.net';
Options.LocalEcho = false;
Options.Port = 23;
Options.ProxyHostname = 'proxy-us-ca.ftelnet.ca';
Options.ProxyPort = 80;
Options.ProxyPort = 443;
Options.ScreenColumns = 80;
Options.ScreenRows = 25;
var fTelnet = new fTelnetClient('fTelnetContainer', Options);
</script>


this script works, I used it to connect to your BBS and it connected just fine.

Denn,

Thanks for helping me out.

I pasted it and I can't logon, I press enter etc.. nothing happens. I tried locally and via internet.

This is in my 000-home :

<!--Home-->

<!-- fTelnet -->
<?xjs
if (settings.ftelnet) {
const ftelnet_lib = load({}, settings.web_lib + 'ftelnet.js');
load('ftelnethelper.js');

<style>.fTelnetStatusBar { display : none; }</style>
.<div id="fTelnetContainer" class="fTelnetContainer"></div> <script>document.write('<script src="//embed-v2.ftelnet.ca/js/ftelnet-loader.norip.xfer.js?v=' + (new Date()).getTime() + '"><\/script>');</script>
<script>

Options.BareLFtoCRLF = false;
Options.BitsPerSecond = 115200;

var fTelnet = new fTelnetClient('fTelnetContainer', Options);
</script>

<?xjs } ?>

<!-- end fTelnet -->

Conect via Telnet. If I access my website http://mash40777.ddns.net:4077 which is portforwarded to 80 on my BBS machine it shows the website but isnt able to connect via telnet.

It works fine for me, allowing that I took a '7' out of your hostname.

Weird thing is that the 'Connect' button is missing from your fTelnet instance, I have no idea why. However if I type 'fTelnet.Connect()' in the browser JS console and hit return, it connects just fine.

Note that whether your webserver listens on port 4077 or port 80 or redirects doesn't really matter. When fTelnet connects, it connects to your WebSocket service, which is on another port. The WebSocket service, in turn, connects to your telnet server, and serves as a proxy between that and fTelnet in the browser.

I just went and redid the snipet and included an ansi spash screen.
