I've had to shut down the website interface for the BBS.

With the original version, if one clicks on File Libraries,
it asks to save it to an HTML file, instead of bringing up
a list, as with an FTP logon.

With echicken's version (4), if one clicks on "Connect Via
Telnet", it says "Redirecting...", then crashes.

With urinary bladder stone removal surgery for me on
August 12 (I'm typing this on August 11), and then my
working on plans for my late Mom's funeral (she died on
August 9), the BBS is going to take a back seat for awhile.

But, I would like to get the website re-enabled as soon
as possible.

What browser are you using? Some browsers (e.g. chrome) won't render FTP-served pages any more.

With echicken's version (4), if one clicks on "Connect Via
Telnet", it says "Redirecting...", then crashes.

You'll need to provide more detail than just "crashes".

But, I would like to get the website re-enabled as soon
as possible.

Sure, and we'd love to help.

Can you describe the crash? I'm not sure if you mean that the ftelnet window just craps out (turns grey
maybe) or your entire BBS crashes, which would be interesting.

What do you mean by "crashes"? When I hear "crash" with software, usually I think the program quit with an error, etc.. I have a hard time imaginging fTelnet would cause the web browser to crash..

It was the FTelnet Window. I have an external FTelnet link that folks
can get to the BBS from their browser, but the "Connect Via Telnet" link doesn't work from the BBS website. I'm running Windows 10 32-bit.

What browser are you using? Some browsers (e.g. chrome) won't render FTP-ser
pages any more.

I went back to Google Chrome, as Firefox kept crashing with Facebook
and other pages. I'm really not keen on using Microsoft Edge for Windows
10. I might look at going back to Opera.

With echicken's version (4), if one clicks on "Connect Via
Telnet", it says "Redirecting...", then crashes.

You'll need to provide more detail than just "crashes".

The screen grays out, as the connection is lost. But, your comment
about the browser would do that. Yet, I'm not sure what that user was
using for his web browser.

But, I would like to get the website re-enabled as soon
as possible.

And, right now, with recovering from urinary bladder surgery, and
preparing for my Mom's funeral, I need all the diversion I can get.

The window grayed out after a few seconds, and the connection was
lost. DM noted that Chrome won't work right with the FTP deal. I'm
really not keen on going to Microsoft Edge under Windows 10 (32-bit),
and Firefox kept crashing on other sites, especially Facebook...and my
Dashlane Password Manager worked better on Google Chrome. I may go back
to the Opera Web browser instead.

I'm able to connect to your websocket server, but your websocket server is not able to
connect to your telnet server. It's difficult to say why this is the case.

Can you tell me what you mean when you're describing this "external fTelnet link"?

What do you have in the [WS] section of ctrl/services.ini?

What do you have in the [BBS] section of ctrl/sbbs.ini for TelnetInterface and TelnetPort?

What do you have in the [Global] section fo ctrl/sbbs.ini for Interface?

The external FTelnet link, not on the BBS website, is

http://www.theweatherwonder.com/bbsftlnt.htm

What do you have in the [WS] section of ctrl/services.ini?

Port=1123
Options="NO_HOST_LOOKUP
Command=websocketservice.js

What do you have in the [BBS] section of ctrl/sbbs.ini for TelnetInterface an
TelnetPort?

TelnetPort=23

What do you have in the [Global] section fo ctrl/sbbs.ini for Interface?

Interface=0.0.0.0 (IP address of network interface to bind to) OutboundInterface = 0.0.0.0
OutboundV6Interface = ::

That's the same with all the interface deals.

This is using Rick's websocket proxy server and not yours. That makes it seem more likely that there's a problem with your websocket server.

Interface=0.0.0.0 (IP address of network interface to bind to)
That's the same with all the interface deals.

This should be fine, assuming you're using the very latest versions of:

exec/websocketservice.js
exec/load/ftelnethelper.js

In fact, I just went to tbolt.synchro.net and see that ftelnet is working (for me as an external client anyway), so I suspect you've updated recently and this has solved the problem.

The external one works, but mine isn't. I'm sure there's a way to
check it or repair it...but with my mind spinning faster than an EF-5
tornado, with all I've had to do in the aftermath of my Mom's death just
over a week ago from congestive heart failure, I don't know where to
begin looking.

The last downloads I updated of sbbs_dev.zip and sbbs_run.zip were
just the other day (August 14).

me as an external client anyway), so I suspect you've updated recently and th
has solved the problem.

I wondered it was the web browser. I had to go back to Google Chrome
as Firefox was crashing constantly with Facebook. But, Chrome is
dropping support for things like Flash, FTP, and other items, if they
haven't already. I'm really not keen on learning a new browser,
especially if it's from Microsoft.
