I got the invite and will join up. e-mail address is still valid. I did manage t
o track down what the problem is with the current QWK config. It seems like at s
ome point in tim the Synchronet FTP server stopped support for PASV ftp connecti
ons. One of the things that my vert.ftp file does is issue a PASV command, to wh
ich it gets an "Invalid Command" response. The system is behind a 1:1 NAT so act
ive FTP will not work.
Also, I think i have found out the culprit of my "blocked" connections. I notice
d that the Synchronet Control Panel services log did not have anyactivity in it
since 4/24 10:52:24p. All nodes reported "Waiting for Connection". Performing a
Test-Netconnetion on port 22 and 23 returned true, however attempting to connect
via Telent or SSH just hung. A socket connection was established, but there was
not output. Turns out there were 4 CMD sessions on the host all stuck in the ca
llout to vert for QWK in with:
ftp> pasv
Invalid command.
ftp> put c:\sbbs\data\vert.rep vert.rep
504 Bad port number.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
Once I killed one of these sessions the telent/ssh sessions started working agai
n. Its pecurliar that there were 4 hung callouts and i have 4 nodes and non ofth
em were able to respond.
I will look into the newer QWK config, but if it is dependent on FTP i may have
an issue.
