so i found the issue of any protokoll i tried to download a file from
different filebases.

i have the issue that makes mystic not wanting to send the file. it is the read-only attribut of a file under windows. (can't proof linux).

the downloads i tried cam from a real cd-rom. the files.bbs was integrated without any problem into the file descriptions so i could sort out any miss matched paths.

the other filebase i had the same issue with had also files in it that with
the read-only attribut - i guess those files came originally from a cd-rom
and the file attribut was copied also.

the question is of course why is there an error? it also didn't matter if i would like to copy the file from the optical media to the ssd first and tried to send it from there.

i also replicated that issue by setting read only to a file that was downloading without issues beforehand and it failed after i altered the files attribut to read only.

i guess nobody had implemented a real cd-rom into there BBSes yet?
will i have a cd changer that can carry 6 different cd-roms and i just like
the way that thing makes noise... anyway is there any way to clear the issue out? i can't change the attribut of a file on a cd-rom.

and yes i know i could emulate a cd-drive with tools but that's not what i want. i also thing it's an accident that read only files can't be read by mystic.

Hello Vitus!

Try setting "Slow Media: Yes" for the file base -- that should make Mystic automatically copy each file to a temporary directory before sending it to the user. More info here:

https://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=config_filebase_editor#slow_media

Note that "Slow Media: Yes" prohibits any uploads to the file base, so if you want users to be able to upload files to that file base, you will have to find another solution (e.g. clear the read-only attribute manually for all files that you copied from a CD-ROM).

Hope this helps!

Best regards

i tried already and it didn't change the outcome. i wrote this already but i guess i didn't explain it clear enough. sorry!

"the question is of course why is there an error? it also didn't matter if i would like to copy the file from the optical media to the ssd first and tried to send it from there."

but thank you for your input!
