Hi Rug,

On 2025-06-13 01:31:34, you wrote to All:

 RR>  I was wondering if anyone can tell me what .CLO files are used for?

Read: http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-5005.003

 RR> It appears that it is used by my tosser to tell BINKD where the .PKT
 RR> files are being placed and which one to transfer.

That is correct.

 RR> However, BinkD seems to always delete them after a transfer,

That is by design:

       After successful transmission of the listed files the flow file
       must be deleted from the outbound. (But see below.) Should the
       session be terminated accidentally while sending the listed
       files, the flow file must be processed in the next session from
       the beginning.

 RR> and the next time my BBS executes a TOSS it can not find the
 RR> x.XXX.XXX.X.CLO file, does not create a new one and drops out of the
 RR> tosser.

That is a bug.

 RR> I had to write a script to check to see if the file exists, and if not
 RR> create an empty .CLO file then run the tosser.  I would like IF
 RR> POSSIBLE for BINKd NOT to delete this file.

That is not possible.


Bye, Wilfred.
