    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.

    Sorry, guess I just needed a post to make :)

    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.

    Hello Joe

    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.

    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

    Best Wishes

    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?
