Maybe I have lost the plot, but what’s the easiest way to add files to
synchronet where it reads and pist the fileid.diz? I am trying to add
all my stuff. A lot of files and it’s being such a pain! Helps!

Still no descriptions?

Did you see the part about the -diz option?

Tell us what you tried so far.

I tried that. The descriptions still do not show. I used that page.
And even confirmed the command. I can get the files there. But no
description.

when you list files on your board if you press I for file info, and
select one of the files, sometimes the info displays large
descriptions that aren't shown by default when you list them?

Just spitballing. I'm honestly a rare user of filebases in synchro.

I have like 80 cd’s i want to add plus 4 tb of other stuff. I didn’t
think adding files to categories would be so crazy lol. I am trying to
text out more stuff now till I figure it out. Once the files are
added, will they automatically be accessible via FTP?

Just to be sure, have you tried the updated, addfiles.js version?
(jsexec addfiles or ./jsexec addfiles on *nix) This tripped me up for
a while and worked much better for me.

I have it running on windows. And yeah i still have to use the jsexec
command. It’ll start but still won’t read tge fileid.diz

Yes, file in the filebases are automatically accessible via FTP.

Basic questions: What version of Synchronet are you running? What
command-line are you trying to use to add the files?

I used FTP which put them in my /sbbs/data/dirs folders, then when I
went into the BBS they were there with all the descriptions from the
.diz files. Didnt have to do anything else. Linux v3.20
