As Wilfred already said, there should be a *.FLO (or HLO, DLO, CLO) in the
outbound. My guess is (I might be wrong) that TrapToss created that .FLO file
with an Amiga filepath inside, that binkd could not understand. Then binkd
deleted the .FLO file. Do you find anything in the binkd logs that says
something like

start_file_transfer: 2.203.0.0.WE0: No such file or directory

Or make sure binkd is not running in the background, create a new message and
run TrapToss and look if there is a .FLO file in the outbound.

If that is the case, open the .FLO file with an editor and check the filename
inside. Maybe you can make use of ftrans in binkd.cfg.
