Has something changed in the protocols that would cause EZ-Rom v2.20 to not be able to send files when someone tries to download a file from it?


In version 3.19 of Synchornet EZ-Rom worked just fine but now it no longer does so it made me wonder if some changes took place that may have made it so it will no longer work.



Thanks

Nothing comes immediately to mind, but there have been a ton of changes since v3.19's release. What version are you running now?

EZ-Rom has its own file transfer protocols (e.g. ZMODEM) built-in, doesn't it? Do *all* file transfers fail from EZ-Rom or just some of them? Does it start transferring and then get some kind of error or does it fail to start to begin with? What protocol (e.g. YMODEM vs ZMODEM) have you tried?

More information is necessary. :-)

At this time I am running v2.20 of Ez-Rom

It has Ymodem and Zmodem in it. I have tried both and they both fail. All transfers fail. It starts and goes right into erros here is the error it shows
warning: recv_header_raw: expected ZDLE, received: 206
Then it keeps repeating thwese erros until it stops and then it says sending ZRINIT (2 of 10)
Finishing session (Sending ZFIN)

More information is necessary. :-)

Maybe something has gotten corrupted and I need to fidn a new copy of it?

I was inquiring about the version of Synchronet you're running. That's the software with "a ton of changes since v3.19".

EZ-Rom has its own file transfer protocols (e.g. ZMODEM) built-in, doesn't it? Do *all* file transfers fail from EZ-Rom or just some of them? Does it start transferring and then get some kind of error or does it fail to start to begin with? What protocol (e.g. YMODEM vs ZMODEM) have you tried?

Those looks like SyncTERM/client side errors. I was asking about errors displayed or logged on the EZ-Rom side.

Unlikely. It's more likely related to some change in Synchronet. If it doesn't even start/try the file transfer though, that does sound suspiciously like an EZ-Rom side issue, like potentially a file missing or failing to execute. Again, any logs or displayed-errors from EZ-Rom would be helpful there.
