so I wrote wcQWKnet to handle the polling, tossing, etc using
WINServer's own internal code. It actually works out quite well and a number of people use it. Especially since I have made it a free product now :)

Okay Ill give it a try since for some reason my batch doesn't seem too work
any more. Its say authentication failure and I don't know why it works on my laptop but not my server. I copied from laptop to server.

Very cool! If you are interested, I can get you hooked up to WINSnet and XpressNet :)

Okay But I'm having trouble with getting FSX and Survnet and VKradio polling with out instructions it really hard to get the other networks to poll and receive mail. Any help in this matter would be appreciated. I'll buy the
first round of beer!

What kinds of issues are you having? I get fsxNet on both my Mystic and on my WINServer systems.

Robert do you use WINS to poll any qwk mail??

Yes, I do.

Is that a utility you made?? I use to use wcqwk and it worked
okay... never had a problem with it. I have forgot how I made it
run. I need to figure out how to get a cfg file to poll vert.

Yes, wcQWKnet is a WCX that I wrote and maintain.

OMG, this is an old old message...

I tried that in the past and couldn't get it to work... I run/ran a batch file using iFTP as a client to do QWK, works fine. U think Hector would have done something internal, it would have been nothing for him to do.

I agree. Yeah, I have been thinking about giving iFTP a try, but with wcQWKnet
4.0 about to be released, I would like that to be tested more before I make that commitment.

Hector Santos made QWK via FTP available on the Server side of Wildcat!
more than ten years ago.

I am retired now, but I ran QWK/FTP for my small business for several
years with customers using various FTP Clients.

It has to be manually setup and configured and there is more than one
approach that can be used. In a nutshell its not there by default!

I recall it being discussed in the Santronics Mailing Lists from time
to time so if anyone is interested on the server side setup they could
ask via the SSI list

So where is it documented? Plus I don't think it's done quite the same
way as Synchronet and Mystic do it to where the QWK packet is always "available" for downloading in the root directory of the FTP server.

Please, care to share the documentation on this?
