No, unless the board is configured differently. You would use the QWK
menu, via your telnet session, to configure your packet options and choose the
areas you want scanned.
Once you have done that, to download your QWK packet from that synchronet
board, you would just use the ftp client to connect to the board's url address
(i.e. vert.synchro.net) and then 'get VERT.QWK'. The BBS will create a packet
for you and send it.
To send up REP packets, you just 'put VERT.REP' and the board will know
what to do with it.
It should work just like interfacing with any other ftp server.
If your ftp client doesn't support passive, it might present some issues
but others would need to chime in on that.
