EleBBS 2006-2012 Binaries

EleBBS is being maintained as an Open Source project. You can download the older source
from GitHub, or download the latest 2013 source below.


The files below are not complete archives, they contain only updated exe files. You should start
by installing one of the EleBBS version .09g1 releases which are complete archives. If you are
running under Windows, then you should install eb_009gw.zip which is the Windows version.
Then download one of the updated binary packages below for the latest EXE's.
You may optionally install the .10-rc1 update exe's, but the following binaries are newer.

Currently only Win32, OS/2 and Linux binaries are available below, so you will need to use the
CVS for DOS versions.

Both EleBBS and EleWeb executables are included in the binary packages below.

The DNS-fix versions are CVS update plus the older version of tcpcli.pas. It appears to work
fine on Win32, and it has not been tested on other platforms.

The Anonymous FTP allows Anonymous FTP users using any password. You must use the
/XA switch when starting Eleserve.exe to allow anonymous logins, and create a user account
named "Anonymous" with the guest flag enabled. Guest users are denied Anonymous FTP
unless the /XA switch is used.

The Passive FTP server supports the following new options:
-PASVSRVIP:<addr> - Override server IP address for passive FTP
-PASVPORTS:<x-y> - Specify port range for passive FTP
-PASVOFFSET:<x> - Add x to reported data stream port for passive FTP

The August 2007 and later FTP server supports the following new options:

-FTPPORT:<x> Accept incoming FTP connections on port <x>
-FTPLIMIT:<x> Allow a maximum of <x> FTP connections
-FTPUSERON Write login info to USERON.BBS and LASTCALL.BBS
-FTPNODE:<x> Assign node numbers to FTP sessions, starting at <X>

The January 2008 and later FTP server includes the following:
Added: per-user session limit
Added: FXP protocol blocking
Added: transfer rates displayed in EleServ window (global and per-user)

Added: throttling fully implemented. Options have changed from KB/s to
Bytes/s. Multiply your figures by 1024 or transfers will be sloooooww.
Found under ElConfig > TCP/IP > FTP, and scroll to the bottom.

Changed: config file structure - confirm configuration settings are
still correct.

Changed: configuration window is now scrollable due to the number of
options.

Fixed: ftpserv.ele is checked for/created in the proper places, instead
of only the current directory. Check your system for ftpserv.ele files
where they shouldn't be.

The July 2008 and later FTP server uses a new transfer rate algorithm
using linear 64-bit time values. It may be slightly off but close enough.

The February 2009 build features small changes to the FTP filename
handling, which now supports single quotes.

The above binaries should be considered "wide-beta" and may contain bugs. The most stable & tested Windows build
is version .10rc1 Release Canidate 1 (updated EXE's only), which updates the prior and complete .09g1 release version.
