Instead, just create a "bbsfiles" file library in SCFG with the parent directory of "c:\bbsfiles" and then set "Access to Sub-directories" to "Yes". That will automatically make all the sub-directories of c:\bbsfiles

i did that but then i ran into the dir code issues.
i have many file areas and the prefix is usually bbs.xxx whatever so
i run out of space with the dir code limitations.

i know i requested this feature years ago, but it's still something i prefer not to use. i just run into issues because of usage of the short dir code.

i have to manually add all file areas or do an importand manually change each dir code so i can have a unique code. when i do this, on the ftp server people just see descriptions they cant understand.

And 2 days ago I committed that change you requested to allow the sysop (you) to use each dir's long or short name as the virtual sub-directory name instead of the code suffix. Did you not notice?

that's good. i saw it but i didnt really read it. i work 2 jobs, so didn't have time to really look into it. I was just talking about the problems i was having when i first posted.

Yeah, that "Access to Sub-directories" option is experimental and I don't think anyone is really using it. I just noticed that the virtual sub-directory name is not initialized/set when using that method, so that's something that broke since the v3.19b release. I'll play with that option some more with lots of similarly named sub-directories > 8 chars in length and see how best to make that work well.

It works, and it works well. I haven't tested it against greater than 8 character directory names; that will be tested tomorrow when I import some really long directories.
