TyTool5 Problem

[lowmazda]

I posted this in the sticky thread at the top of the page but I wasnt sure if it was the right place. Here is just a copy of what I posted:

I'm only posting here because I've gone through every posted related to this application.

DTivo w/ Turbonet running 2.5-01-1-001.
Tivoftpd and TivoWeb 1.94 beta 3.
I can connect to the tivo fine, ftp & web.

I d/l, unzip and transfer tserver_mfs5 and NowShowing.tcl via ftp to the /var/hack/tytool directory. Chmod 777 both files.

I then run tserver_mfs5 with the ./tserver_mfs5 command and it says its waiting for a connection. On the pc side I load up TyTool5.exe and click refresh.

I get this message on the tivo side:
bash-2.02# ./tserver_mfs5
Doing the Lowest PriorityFix...
Priority set...
Waiting for an incomming connection!
SERVER: We got a message! buf = 'SHOWING'
sh: ./NowShowing.tcl: No such file or directory
Waiting for an incomming connection!

On the PC side I see the following:
Ready...
Reading list from the server...
Clear Now Showing List...
Connecting to '192.168.1.50'
Connected...
Getting NowShowing data...
Sorry.. Could not obtain the list.

Both tserver_mfs5 and NowShowing.tcl are in the same directory. I've looked at every post relating to this and was unable to find what was causing this problem. I even compared settings/file locations with someone that has a working setup and they could extract fine, however I continue to get the same error. Please help.

Thanks

What directory do you have them in? If you are starting them through the rc.sysinit, it will be difficult to get it to work right unless you locate them in the /var/tmp directory.

try chmod 777 on the NowShowing.tcl again. If that doesn't work try putting them into a different directory may be right off the root dir like /tytool.

I do believe that the readme with tytool5 states to use the /hack directory, not /var/hack. Try putting the files there.

CJ,

Shouldn't make a difference. I have my copy in /var/hack/tytool and it works fine. My bet is on the " chmod +x NowShowing.tcl "...

I figured it out. My ftp client was not set to binary mode. Upped them in binary mode. POW. Worked. thanks to all who helped and replied.
