(This is my unzip command line)

%@unzip -Cojqq %f %s -d %g

I even tried %@unzip.exe -Cojqq %f %s -d %g
and %@unzip@. -Cojqq %f %s -d %g

This does not occur if someone uploads an exe, or other files, just ZIP's.
The File Date on the unzip is 4/19/2009, that was included in the sbbs319b.zip.

Note, it does not Throw an error to the error log when this happens.

I'm usin 3.19c, on windows 10 32bit. I thought I cured all the problems, but this one cropped up yesterday. This was the first upload since changing to 3.19b, then going to 3.19c

Any Ideas?

(Done with Sysop Command ;UPLOAD with the stray files in the directory)

Can you run "dir c:\sbbs\exec\unzip*" and paste the output here?

(This is my unzip command line)

%@unzip -Cojqq %f %s -d %g

It's the *testable* file type command-line (for "zip") that's being executed here, not the extractable file type.

SCFG->File Options->Testable Files...

I even tried %@unzip.exe -Cojqq %f %s -d %g
and %@unzip@. -Cojqq %f %s -d %g

You were messing with the wrong command-line. :-)

Note, it does not Throw an error to the error log when this happens.

I wouldn't expect it to either. :-)

Here it is for both UNZIP and ZIP

It's weird that your system would require the %. unless you had a file or directory named "unzip" in exec.

I don't understand it either, as I haven't needed it till I did the update, and I can't swear to that, as I only know for sure It started with 3.19c, I was only on 3.19b for 2 days and no uploads were done in those 2 days. Hope this helps.

So far, yours is the only system I know of to have this issue (requiring the ".exe" be added to executed zip and unzip command-lines on Windows).

Something else to check: are "zip" and "unzip" listed in SCFG->External Programs->Native Program List?

I wasn't going to say anything, as it only happened once yesterday, but since I'm running 3.19c, it may be related to this issue. I uploaded 5 files to my bbs directory yesterday, and went back to check to see if it took ok, and picked up the FILE_ID.DIZ's ok. Everything was fine, then I quit and went back to the main menu, and did a "N" for new mail, and chose All, and it displayed all the new files I uploaded...I logged off, and logged back on, and everything did as it should then. I have not been able to duplicate it, but I thought I would mention it just the same in case it may be related to the other issue.

I'm not clear... are you describing a newly observed issue here?
