  • FTP and robots.txt sending QWK file instead?

    From Björn Wiberg@2:201/137 to g00r00 on Thu May 5 21:20:16 2022
    Hello g00r00!

    Hope all is well!

    I just tried fetching the "new" robots.txt via Mystic's FTP server, but it appears to give me the QWK file instead:

    bbs@glimmer:/tmp$ pftp scbbs.nsupdate.info 61021
    Connected to scbbs.nsupdate.info.
    220 Mystic FTP server ready

    Is this so for you, too?

    Thanks in advance!

    The log is showing that your FTP client is requesting the QWK packet for some reason.

    When I try it here with FileZilla it seems to work but I do seem some oddities at the end where it looks like it gets some sort of blank command from FileZilla. Here is what my log looks like this:
