Well this bbs has been rebuilt. I lost my VM where it was running. I did have a backup but since the 3.17b was out and I was having issues with my setup as it was, I decided to start over.

So, if you are curious, please come check it out. Only have myself, the guest account, and two other local user accounts I use to check out what a normal user would see.

Also, where in the user account can I disable upload for the Guest account?

You can give the Guest account the 'U' (upload) restriction flag: http://wiki.synchro.net/access:restrictions

Or set the "Upload Requirments" for your file directories to "NOT GUEST".

Thanks for the info. I saw restrictions when I looked at Guest account but
was not sure what to change/add. I will read the Wiki info you suggested.

Sure. Me personally, I like to allow anonymous-ftp uploads to my /incoming directory (an alias for main/uploads, which is visible only to me) - and this requires that the Guest account *not* have the 'U' restriction. It's handy way for people to send me files sometimes.

It's in the restrictions...if U is there, they can't upload.

Rob,

Or set the "Upload Requirments" for your file directories to "NOT GUEST".

I have all the directories to LEVEL 99 (me) for uploading, but for
regular uploads (to the private area to be scanned), it's LEVEL 50 or
above. The guest account over here is at LEVEL 30.

Also, I did a slight modification on the guest account...they now have
to logon as GUEST USER with the password of BROWSE. I then put
"anonymous" in the user.can file, and I may put "guest" in there as
well. But, since it's just "guest", would "Guest User" still work??

In doing that, it has cut down on FTP bots looking for photo.scr and
info.zip in the file area. I also have put the various browser email
addresses in the appropriate .can files, to block those from getting in.
But, I was wondering with the changing of the guest account name, and
adding a password, if it'd be OK to remove those browser emails.

Worth considering. I just found file.can and saw the two files photo.scr and the other one. So for now I am content to leave as is.

Interesting approach. I have similar restrictions in that only I can see uploads(the one area that allows them), but I also limit uploads to registered BBS users, so they can't be done anonymously.

You've eliminated the anonymous-ftp option by setting the guest account's password. Why do you care if bots look for files? It's harmless.

OK, I will go ahead and change all that back. I'll just block the IP
when I see it come in.
