    On Wildcat 5 with the Internet Connect Pack (pre-winserver) How do i set ->>>up anonymous FTP access to my file areas?

    I do not remember on Wildcat 5 but on 6 and 7 in WcConf there is a FTP MD>> server icon for config of the server. There is where you do the
    anonymous user for the ftp server. I have not have 5 is so long I do not MD>> remember how to set it up.

    Michael, thanks for responding. My version does not have the FTP icon in WcConfig. The ftp is working but requires login. I like the file descriptions that are generated on the fly feature.

    Thinking about moving my file areas under the public directory and
    using a generic ftp server allowing quick access.

    I've thought about updating the kitty a lot. The main reason i've not
    so far is, we run a qwk via http program that was part of Earl Borah's
    web messaging pro for Wildcat 5. My members use that quite a bit. From what i have heard that is not compatible with Winserver 6 or 7.

    Who told you that lie? It works fine here under latest WC v6.4 and Windows 10 Pro, I haven't tried it under WC v7 yet but since QWK hasn't changed in
    years I'm sure it will continue to work.

    Then there's Santronics.. :)

    Don't Shoot.. I'm only the messenger!!

    I was planning on updating a few years ago and called for an upgrade
    price. So that would be Andrea Santos, said because of a message base change since WC5 it would probably not work.

    Speaking of CrapTronics, they must be insane in their pricing. http://santronics.com/products/order/PrintPriceList.php

    I have a 10 node version and WcReports. Can't remember what she quoted me for the upgrade back then but.. LOL!

    Would be nice to find a complete package with fui and Telnet that would run on my dedicated Linux server.

    What are the dates of your html-qwk download\upload\processrep.wcx's plus Earl's wmputils.wcx?

    Your version of WC predates major changes by a year and is not upgradable, you would need to purchase WC v7 outright and migrate your data.

    Speaking of CrapTronics, they must be insane in their pricing. http://santronics.com/products/order/PrintPriceList.php

    Their main income is not with us poor sysops but with the corporate world.

    I have a 10 node version and WcReports. Can't remember what she quoted
    me for the upgrade back then but.. LOL!

    She quoted me $199.95 since I haven't been on the AUP for a long time then
    went down to $79.95 for a CD only upgrade to V7, I see that price entry in their new pricelist that you posted but you must be at least v6.4 so you are out of luck on that discount.

    My setup is working fine so there's no need to feed CrapTronics. My html pages have been higly modified and are also responsive for smartphone access. Beats the hell out of CrapTronics default garbage!

    BTW: I tried registering on your board yesterday, did you get my netmail?

    Yes I did receive it and replied but not sure if it ever went out, I'll
    try a different client other than pxTOOLS.
