• Improvements to synchronet bbs

    From Rixter@1:103/705 to All on Wed Dec 4 11:56:15 2024
    Some time in the future would it be possible for downloads from the web client to be counted in the stats as well as recorded in the file’s history. Right now only the telnet activity for files is being tracked. I am not sure if ftp is tracked and statistically updated. I have no working ftp clients currently to even check my own bbs, lol. I see a lot of activity on it. Mostly bots. It would be nice if callers using the web page could be added to the stats too. Thank you.

    They should be already.

    Right
    now only the telnet activity for files is being tracked.

    I doubt that. SSH, Rlogin, FTP[S], SFTP, and HTTP[S] downloads of files should all be tracked as well.

    I am not sure if
    ftp is tracked and statistically updated.

    It is.

    I have no working ftp clients
    currently to even check my own bbs, lol.

    When you type "ftp" at a command prompt, what happens?

    I see a lot of activity on it.

    Thanks for replying Rob.
    When someone takes a file from my BBS on the Web Server it is not reflected in the download history of files downloaded nor in the file's history on the telnet side either. By that I mean in the D/L today in stats it is not reflected and if you look at the files status in synchronet it only shows when someone downloads it via telnet (times downloaded for that particular file). I am running 3.19b at the ftp prompt i try to open my own bbs and get a timeout connection. I see others connecting to it but I have yet to get back into it. I am not in a hurry though. It seems like there is very little use for it any more. I was curious to just to see it again. Years back I used it all the time for transferring files. I will look into getting a client that will work with it soon. I have seen some file transfers and those are counted in the stats. Thank you so much for taking time to answer.

    Well upgrade to v3.20a would be my first recommendation.

    at the ftp prompt i try to open my own bbs and get
    a timeout connection.

    What address are you trying to connect to? If you're running the ftp client on the same system as the BBS, maybe try "ftp localhost"?

    I don't think the client is the problem.

    I did find and fix an issue in ecWebv4's api/files.ssjs:
    user.downloaded_file(dircode, file.path);
    should be:
    user.downloaded_file(dircode, file_getname(file.path));

    And will be committing that fix tonight. It's not a problem with the Synchronet "web server" per se, but rather just that web UI script.

    I went to sbbs/webv4/root/api and made the adjustment to files.ssjs
    it now reads, user.downloaded_file(dircode,file_getname(file.path));
