Hi Rug,

On 2025-06-13 01:31:34, you wrote to All:

Read: http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-5005.003

RR> It appears that it is used by my tosser to tell BINKD where the .PKT

That is correct.

RR> However, BinkD seems to always delete them after a transfer,

That is by design:

      After successful transmission of the listed files the flow file
      must be deleted from the outbound. (But see below.) Should the
      session be terminated accidentally while sending the listed
      files, the flow file must be processed in the next session from
      the beginning.

RR> and the next time my BBS executes a TOSS it can not find the
RR> x.XXX.XXX.X.CLO file, does not create a new one and drops out of the
RR> tosser.

That is a bug.

RR> I had to write a script to check to see if the file exists, and if not
RR> create an empty .CLO file then run the tosser.  I would like IF
RR> POSSIBLE for BINKd NOT to delete this file.

That is not possible.


Bye, Wilfred.
