I don't think you're going to find a lot of success with that approach (on
Windows). SEXYZ is one of the only socket I/O based X/Y/ZMODEM file transfer
drivers for Windows. Your other options are (all or just msotly) going to be
16-bit programst that either require a FOSSIL driver (so they would work with
Synchronet, so long as you already have 16-bit programs working) or direct
COM/UART I/O (which could possibly also work with Synchronet for Windows). In
any case, I wouldn't expect those other programs to fail in exactly the same
way.
Most likely, the issue you're encountering is a bug in SEXYZ. The question is:
is it an old/already-fixed bug, new or current bug? Until I understand exactly
what revision of sexyz.exe v3.0 you're using, I can't guess.
Assuming, you are actually running the latest and greatest sexyz.exe
(master/24933c806) and the problem is still occurring, the next step would be to
enable debug level log output in your exec/sexyz.ini file and then run a Windows
debug output capture utility
(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/debugview) and send the
"SEXPOTS:" lines that were logged shorter before the program crashed.
If I can reproduce it myself, I can fix it easily. So far, I have not been able
to. Short of being able to reproduce it myself, I will need more details from
you in order try to root-cause and resolve it.
