    Hey all,

    I'm getting a new WWIV BBS setup on linux and I'm struggling to understand an easier way to get files added to the transfer section, using the /opt/wwiv/ wwiv:wwiv user / group method suggested within the documentation.

    I have two other BBSes that are not WWIV. I have external harddrives say .. under /media/pcusername/drive1/ ... /drive2 ... /drive3

    I want to be able to point wwiv:wwiv to /media/pcusername/drive1/wwiv and all the subfolders and files within that folder.

    I wwiv has no issue seeing the directory, nor listing the files out when I perform a //uploadall. However, wwiv states the files do not exist, that wwiv just listed off, and therefore does not add them to the conference/directory.

    The same is true if I simply moved the files to
    /opt/wwiv/downloads/ any directory and the files within the directories.

    Within the directory editor I have //uploadall turned to Yes.

    What else am I missing here?


    Any help would be appreciated. I'm at a loss as both directories wwiv:wwiv have read and write privileges set.
