Is anyone out there using SyncTerm for Linux? I'm using version 1.2a
and seem to have nothing but troubles uploading files to ANY BBS I try.
I am getting seemingly random successes with 99% failures.
If I use my DOS Virtual Machine with Windows 3.1 and Procomm Plus I can upload REP packets without issue to any BBS all day long and fast, 100%
of the time.
With SyncTerm uploading of REP packets fails 99% of the time. I have
tried using Zmodem, YModem, Xmodem, all to no avail. :-( Downloading
with SyncTerm for Linux works all the time. It's just the uploading
that fails nearly all the time.
Running SyncTerm 1.2a
Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

What are you uploading to? A BBS? Which BBS software? I upload with Syncterm 1.2a to my Synchronet BBS all the time without issue. The BBS
OS and my Laptop are both Ubuntu 18. If it's a BBS you're uploading to make sure your permissions are correct.

I'm uploading to the following BBS systems:
1) My own test Mystic BBS - works sometimes, usually once but then not
again until maybe the next day - kind of random. Using Zmodem. I
successfully did a couple uploads yesterday to my test BBS and to a
couple other live BBSs on the internet and it worked using Xmodem. So I thought I found the issue. But, nope. Could not upload to any of them
today with Xmodem or anything else (usually try Zmodem).

1.2a is not a released version of SyncTERM, so it's a moving target.
Were those tests from a recent build (from gitlab)?
Do you have the same problems using SyncTERM v1.1 (the latest release)?

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded 1.1 and it works fine now. I was
pulling the latest down. Ooops.
"The latest" from where? For what OS? I know Deuce was working on
SyncTERM file transfer support recently, so I would expect the current code in git to be worki ng.

Do the logs on your bbs system show any error messages that might be helpful for Digital Man to look at?

probably the one at the bottom of the syncterm page that clearly states "you probably don't want this" .. heh

I was pulling it from here:
http://syncterm.bbsdev.net/syncterm-src.tgz
I was compiling for Linux (Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS)
I got the instructions from here: https://www.erb.pw/how-to-install-syncterm-for-linux-from-source/

So the issue was that I was using 1.2a which is not released yet - beta
code apparently. I dropped back to the official 1.1 release and have no problems uploading now. Thanks!
If you or someone else still wants to know what the logs say on my test
BBS I would definitely need some instructions on how to access them.
