  • FASTFILE

    From Martin Kazmaier@1:340/1101 to All on Friday, July 08, 2022 18:52:00
    I'm trying to use this now. Previously I had it working a bit better, but it wouldn't show any directories. Now the local does, but when I run fastfile,
    it reports that exitinfo.bbs is a bad filename. I created a batch file with
    a pause, and indeed exitinfo.bbs is being created in the node directory.
    I've got fastfile set up for the node directory of c:\ele\node1 (I tried both with and without trailing slashes). I've also tried with and without a fastfile environment variable. Any ideas?

    Total user error. I had a ";" instead of a ":" in the path. I can't get
    files to display in the list remotely though, same problem I had with
    wareztag. It works great locally, but that doesn't help any. Any ideas as
    to why this would be? It's obviously not user error, I'm using the same
    ff.ctl in the node directory as the fastfile directory.
