SyncTERM

Status: Verified Tested version: SyncTERM 1.9rc4 Documentation: reviewed public guidance

Create a SyncTERM directory entry with:

  • connection type Telnet;
  • address 127.0.0.1;
  • the board's configured port, normally 2323;
  • ANSI-BBS screen mode, CP437, and 80×25;
  • local echo off; and
  • local upload/download directories chosen before transfer testing.

Keep Telnet binary negotiation enabled so binary transfer bytes are not altered by network virtual terminal translation.

For a quick directory connection, press Ctrl-D and enter:

telnet://127.0.0.1:2323

The reproducible command-line form used in acceptance was:

syncterm -IA -T telnet://127.0.0.1:2323

Ordinary users can use the application UI. SyncTERM 1.9rc4 passed Sysop login, ANSI menus, messages, files, an upload, and clean logoff during the current local-guide checkpoint. Preserved project acceptance also verifies actual SyncTERM XMODEM, YMODEM, and ZMODEM interoperability; this documentation pass did not rerun every binary protocol.

For client-specific options, see the external SyncTERM Manual.
