    digital man: ( it wont let me edit subject or to: user)


    I've said this before and suggested torrenting, but it was shot down.

    It would be nice if there was a way to network our file bases. I think that would add a lot to the software.

    Maybe have it in the file listings like

    (filename.zip) (size) (date) (qwk name) (desc)

    then if the user chose the file it would be fetched by the bbs and in a temp dir for the user to download from.

    it would good to be able set a limit on filesize and virus scan files before the user gets them.

    for fetching the files, I'm not sure ftp is the way to go with how some people have issues with passive and active mode.

    A shared filebase sounds interesting. I have almost 100GB of files I'd
    like to share, but I'm too lazy to sort and categorize them.

    Who would manage such a thing?

    FTN FDNs (file echoes) are already supported. Sounds like you're proposing more of an as-needed/requested method of file distribution. If you'd really like something like that considered, the proper method for proposing feature requests is via https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/issues

    Some editors (e.g. fseditor.js) support editing the message subject.

    SlyEdit does as well.
