    I'm a bit confused by what you have written and what you're asking / aka the problem.

    So first up you're talking about the dir toss option for echo nodes - right?

    ..and assuming that's a yes, then is the problem about where you think
    packets for that node should be appearing etc. ?

    yes.. because the files are going to him not packets

    So what is the problem?

    The files to be sent to the node are

    a) not being dropped into the right directory you expect to see them in?
    b) are not being sent as compressed packets?

    ?? sorry there's just not enough info here yet for me to help you.

    i am using filebox so i put the in and out dir for message packets sub direct there. i sent netmail and he does not get it or it does not show anything to send in fidopoll. he gets socket errors as i posted before that g00r00
    replied to so i tried the other day to see if there were packets created in the out directory and there is non. logs are showing no issue but there is no physically there. i even looked in my normal outbound dir for a current
    time stamp. we are using A38 yes he is in the export list and he gets files hatched to him just no messages.

    And have you set the 'session type' on page one of his echo node settings to 'directory'?

    Those directory options are for Directory Tossing. Usually used tossing mail locally between systems or sending FidoNet via e-mail, or third party FTP server, etc.

    Why do you feel you needed to change where the packets were created? There is a standard directory structure that has to be used for BSO FTN.

    What you're trying to do (directory tossing) is not something that is used with BINKP its something used instead of BINKP. If you're trying to configure a hub where nodes connect via BINKP then you shouldn't be trying to use Directory Tossing. Set their session type to BinkP.

    What might be most helpful is to show your configuration. The things that would be reviewed as an echomail hub would be:

    1. System paths for outbound and inbound echomail
    2. Your Echomail address list
    3. Echomail node configuration for the node you're trying to setup
    4. Tosser/binkp logs.

    g00r00 has also responded to this thread so in short I'd run with his
    questions and provide the info he asks for and we'll be able to help you.

    If you would like me to remote in and take a look at your settings I am happy to do this for you also.

    BinkP session type means you're saying this node is going to poll your BinkP server (you need that running on port 24554 or whichever you choose) and your HUB is going to use Fidopoll to send things to the node. The latter assumes
    you have traffic set to normal or crash but not hold. If they are set to hold no amount of fidopollng the node is going to lead to anything being sent.

    i set up directory to see if it was making packets and they are in the export list. they are getting files and .tic and the log shows it created it but when i fidopoll it say 0 sent. i will get this together for you to look and email you with with this. remember i had a stroke in 2011 so im slow now.

    Yep no worries we'll get you sorted out! It might be easiest to have Avon log in and look around since he said he was willing. He's pretty much a wizard with Mystic and echomail but I am willing to help out as well.

    There could be any number of issues, from not having ZIP files to addressing being incorrect. The only real way to know is to see the configuration and logs.

    he was set as normal and i changed him to crash and it worked on avons suggestions to use normal or crash

    yeah because i can connect to him but he gets errors but he's A39 now im A38
    so perhaps i should look into A39..
