Hello Fir3fox!

On 07 Aug 2024, Fir3fox said the following...

 Fi> config to send to the hub 21:4/100 (hub), I have no clue how to send
 Fi> what you are written, so I have to send a passwd to fsx_node, this is

You have to send a netmail to "Filefix" at 21:4/100 with the Filefix password that you and Avon have agreed on, and write +FSX_NODE in the message text of that netmail, to ensure that you're subscribed to FSX_NODE. Otherwise, you will not get any files from that file echo (unless Avon has already subscribed you to it).

Just like when you subscribe to echomail conferences, but "Filefix" instead of "Areafix".

 Fi> it twice? As NOW, I have FSX_NODE in file base editor and I send it to
 Fi> 21:4/100 (fsxNet) and no export "No Node" in export to

My file base for FSX_NODE has:

Net Address  ³ 21:1/202 (fsxNet) <-- my fsxNet node address
Export To    ³ 0 node(s)
Upload ACS   ³ %
Hatch ACS    ³ %

The "Export To" not exporting to anyone (especially not to the hub, 21:1/100 in my case as I'm on the 100 net) is because FSX_NODE is a read-only file echo -- only Avon's system is supposed to be hatching (sending out) files to those who are connected to it.

Preventing BBS users from uploading or hatching files to the file base using "%" (= deny all) as the ACS string is a good safety measure to avoid this to ever happen.

Best regards
