i'm testing sexyz as zmodem external protocol on aliens.ph.

downloading works.
uploading doesn't seem to.
will dig deeper in the next week.
my current suspicion is the free disk space function is borked or something.

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.

Should I try it in windows and see how it behaves?

Yes. Test with the different protocols, please. Internal and external (SEXYZ).

We're trying something on the Github Actions script... there was a change last year in Github that appears to be causing Windows builds to fail. If my hunch is right, we'll be able to build Windows binaries again for each accepted PR.
