Directories
The Synchronet BBS directory structure:
By default, the above directories are sub-directories of your main Synchronet installation directory (e.g. c:\sbbs
on Windows or ~/sbbs
or /sbbs
on *nix). By default, lower-case short directory names are used. For example:
/sbbs/ctrl/
../data/
../exec/
../mods/
../node1/
../node2/
../node3/
../node4/
../text/
../web/
../webv4/
../xtrn/
However, the sysop has the option of changing the location of these directories through configuration settings in SCFG and sbbs.ini
. If the location of these directories is changed for some reason, the sysop should also make sure that their system environment variables match the new directory locations.
Note:
If 16-bit DOS programs are to be utilized in the BBS (e.g. as archive/compression programs, door games, protocol drivers, etc.), you may run into troubles if you choose to use non-DOS compatible directory names (e.g. names longer than 8 characters or containing invalid DOS filename characters).
