And how are you executing that command from JavaScript?

The correct way to initiate a download (send a file) using JavaScript is with
the bbs.send_file() function (see
http://synchro.net/docs/jsobjs.html for
details). It possible you could setup the sexyz command-line and execute it
correctly from Synchronet, but it's not the "proper" way to achieve this.

Synchronet program was named 'sbbs' instead of 'sync' to avoid conflict w/Unix.
