  • Docs on setting a new Sync BBS up as a QWK network

    From Marisag@1:103/705 to All on Sat Feb 27 20:21:07 2021
    I'm looking to start up a new QWK network but can't see any documents on how to set up the relevant Synchronet BBS to work as a QWK hub and seting up the message areas etc. Can someone point me to the appropriate documentation? Thx!

    Hi Marisa,

    In scfg, under message areas -> groups -> [some group] -> message sub-boards -> [some board] -> network options there is the toggle for marking a board as "QWK Networked" (I /guess/ that is needed for something :)).

    Accounts should have the 'Q' restriction, which could be set by enabling the relevant signup question: ask_qnet = true under [newuser] in modopts.ini

    You will need to enable the FTP server; there is also something in the old web interface which seems somewhat working.

    I hope it helps a little. :) I haven't so far as to set something like this up... So quite possibly I miss something...

    There are old docs here, in particular 9.1.4: https://synchro.net/docs/networking.html

    Best,
    -AL.
