Subj : QWK Network Issues

I am still having a hard time setting up a QWK network.

What are the correct pack and unpack commands?

According to the documentation it should be:
%!pkzip %f %s
%!pkunzip -o %f %g %s

But there does not seem to be a copy of pkzip in any folders....I even tried downloading an old 204 ver and putting it in the c:\sbbs\exec folder with the zip.exe and unzip.exe.

I also found another pack and unpack commandline:
%@zip -jD %f %s
%@unzip -Coj %f %s -d %g

As my friend and I struggled with getting this setup last winter thru firewalls and port forwarding etc....decided to setup 2 win10 boxes locally.

I have 2x BBS's setup on seperate boxes one as a hub(BBS1) and one as a node(BBS2)

Still having issues.....
When I do a Force callout from BBS2 to BBS1 I get the following message in the terminal event screen on BBS2:
QNET Upload of C:\sbbs\data\DTOM.REP failed: Error: STOR DTOM.REP failed: 553 Invalid directory.
QNET Call-out to: DTOM returned 1

and the following in the FTP server log on BBS1:
<bbs2> !attempted to upload to invalid directory

I feel like it has to be something silly....just pulling my hair out (whats left of it)....Any help would be much appreciated. ;)
