  • FTN File Areas

    From BiggieB@23:150/10 to all on Friday, September 25, 2026 12:32:32
    I have a question regarding setting up FTN file areas. I have no problem setting up, and configuring, FTN messages areas and I have about 9 of them on my BBS right now, including this one. For some reason I can't figure out how the FTN areas work and how to configure them. I must be missing something and I just can't wrap my head around it. I read some docs but it's just not clicking. Any help would be very appreciated! :)

    I'm running Synchronet 3.21e for Win and using BINKP for polling.

    Thanks!

    what have you read already?
    this one? https://wiki.synchro.net/module:tickit?s[]=tickit&s[]=js

    Your first create the filegroup and areas in scfg (thats how it is called in linux) for the SysopNet File Areas.

    Then you edit the /sbbs/ctrl/tickit.ini by hand or use the tickitcfg tool (i can start that in linux via jsexec tickitcfg)

    Let me know how far you get :)

    PS: there is also a "handler" that you can set in tickit.ini to process incoming Nodelists.
