    so what am I doing wrong

    You'll have to get a file called "filegate.zxx" and it's available here:

    http://www.filegate.net/info/filegate.zxx

    That's where you'll get the AREANAMES from. You do not name them in your cfg file like you name the folder.

    Okay thank you for your help, I am going to stick with Filetoss, same setup as tinytic
    but Filetoss works for me, it was just was hoping to use tinytic newsfile.txt for
    posting, but I just use filetoss.txt instead.

    Welcome... but didn't I send you over HUSKY's htick?
