ok. the initial problem i was seeing was that WWIV was complaining about not
enough free disk space for uploading.

simple fix was to change batch.cpp

diff --git a/bbs/batch.cpp b/bbs/batch.cpp
index 2b039718e..c2baf6818 100644
--- a/bbs/batch.cpp
+++ b/bbs/batch.cpp
@@ -811,7 +811,7 @@ void upload(int dn) {
   }
   const auto& d = a()->dirs()[dn];
   dliscan1(d);
-  const long free_space = File::freespace_for_path(d.path);
+  const auto free_space = File::freespace_for_path(d.path);
   if (free_space < 100) {
     bout.outstr("\r\nNot enough disk space to upload here.\r\n\n");
     return;

after recompiling, WWIV now accepts uploads again.
note the change was simply to make the const auto instead of long.

trying to get uploading (internal and external) to work again next.
