Whenever I, or someone tries to upload a zip file to me, it fails. I get the
following on my Terminal Server window, This is me testing for the complaint:
(Done with Sysop Command ;UPLOAD with the stray files in the directory)
2/7 01:28:36p Node 1 <DesotoFireflite> Executing external: c:\SBBS\exec\unzip -tqq c:\SBBS\data\dirs\bbs\DND50A2T.ZIP

%@unzip -Cojqq %f %s -d %g
I even tried %@unzip.exe -Cojqq %f %s -d %g
and %@unzip@. -Cojqq %f %s -d %g
This does not occur if someone uploads an exe, or other files, just ZIP's.
The File Date on the unzip is 4/19/2009, that was included in the sbbs319b.zip.
Note, it does not Throw an error to the error log when this happens.
I'm usin 3.19c, on windows 10 32bit. I thought I cured all the problems, but this one cropped up yesterday. This was the first upload since changing to 3.19b, then going to 3.19c
Any Ideas?

Can you run "dir c:\sbbs\exec\unzip*" and paste the output here?

It's the *testable* file type command-line (for "zip") that's being executed here, not the extractable file type.
SCFG->File Options->Testable Files...

You were messing with the wrong command-line. :-)

I wouldn't expect it to either. :-)

OK, you got me, old age is hell. I added the "%." to the end of all the zip and unzip commands in all the file areas, and everything is working fine.. I didn't even see the testable area till you said something.

Can you paste the output of the "dir" command I asked about about?
It's weird that your system would require the %. unless you had a file or directory named "unzip" in exec.

I don't understand it either, as I haven't needed it till I did the update, and
I can't swear to that, as I only know for sure It started with 3.19c, I was only on 3.19b for 2 days and no uploads were done in those 2 days. Hope this helps.
I wasn't going to say anything, as it only happened once yesterday, but since I'm running 3.19c, it may be related to this issue. I uploaded 5 files to my bbs directory yesterday, and went back to check to see if it took ok, and picked up the FILE_ID.DIZ's ok. Everything was fine, then I quit and went back to the main menu, and did a "N" for new mail, and chose All, and it displayed all the new files I uploaded...I logged off, and logged back on, and everything did as it should then. I have not been able to duplicate it, but I thought I would mention it just the same in case it may be related to the other issue.
Thanks for all you do.

Something else to check: are "zip" and "unzip" listed in SCFG->External Programs->Native Program List?

I'm not clear... are you describing a newly observed issue here?

So far, yours is the only system I know of to have this issue (requiring the ".exe" be added to executed zip and unzip command-lines on Windows).

Yes, but only if you think it's related to the zip, unzip problem. As I said, I can not reproduce it, and it only happened once. It may have been just a fluke or something related to memory. I'm really not concerened at this point about it since I can't reproduce it.

If yours has "zip.exe" and "unzip.exe" instead, I think that explains the issue. Non-native programs are attempted to be run using dosxtrn.exe (a 16-bit DOS program) on Windows, which is not going to successfully run a 32-bit executable (such as zip.exe or unzip.exe).

I'm not clear: *what* only happened once? I don't see a problem in your description of the scenario. <shrug>

That makes sense, but I didn't change them. I'll go back in and change them to just zip and unzip then, and try it. I guess I will end up removing the %. also when I give it a test. Seriously, I can't remember how long it's been this way with no issues.

Let's leave it be for now, as it only happened once. To put it simply, after I uploaded a few files using the ;upload command, from the "T" file menu, I quit the gile menu using "Q", and went the check for any new mail that might have come in, when I hit "N" for new mail, Then "A" for all, it listed all the new FILES I uploaded instead of any new mail. The only way I could stop it from doing this was to log out, and log back in. Hope this is clearer. As I say, no need to persue it, as it only happened once, and I can't duplicate the issue. The only reason I mentioned it was in case it was related to the issue we were having with the zip and unzip issue. Personally, I think it was a one time fluke.

What you're describing sounds like expected (as designed) behavior for a user that has
"[F] Automatic New File Scan : On"
set in their default configuration.
Maybe double-check that setting for your user account?

Yeah, I don't recall them ever defaulting to "zip.exe" and "unzip.exe". And how would have worked before is also a mystery. :-)

OK, I did manage to duplicate the issue today after uploading a file from my other computer. I then changed to the main menu to check for new mail in all the echos. It scanned all the echos, and then it showed the new file I just uploaded. Is it supposed to show any new files uploaded from a new message message scan.

It is when you have auto-new-file scan turned on in your user settings.

Yes, it was on, and I left it on, just had never seen this before. All I remember seeing before when you do a "T" to go to the file menu, it checked for new files then, and I can see that in the default.src, but I didn't seen anything in the new message scan in the default.src that would cause that under "N", as it shows "msg_new_scan". Anyway, since you say it's like expected (as designed) behavior, lets close the issue. As always, thank for the help, and putting up with me :).
