Tyserver

[johnhedge]

I am trying to set up the ability to create dvds of my recordings.

I have downloaded tyserver and ftp'd it to /var. When I run it I get the following error.

Any ideas?

TIA

John

[TiVo [p0] /var]# sh tyserver.ppc.sh

you might have a corrupted file or dos2unix issues.

try
/var# dos2unix tyserver.ppc.sh

Then
/var#sh /var/tyserver.ppc.sh

If it still doesn't work then try copying it again from the source.

Pete, thanks for that idea. It seems to have taken me one more step along the path. As far as I'm aware I downloaded the file, unzipped it and ftp'd it into /var. If it's not a binary how do I make sure it is?

[TiVo [p0] /var]# dos2unix tyserver.ppc.sh

This script will install or upgrade TyServer to /var/index, proceed? [yes]: yes

Error during decompression. Did you transfer this file in binary mode?

Aborting.

[petestrash]

That depends on which FTP client you use. There should be a way to force binary mode.

I've always had a thing for FlashFXP for my FTP stuff, which does have the ability to force transfers in binary mode. It currently gets a good workout loading on the modded palmod files to support the "Mark 2" stereo mod :)

Spot on guys, thx.

I use FileZilla. Just a case of looking in the 'Transfer' list.

Easy when you've been given the right directions :-)
