I've been reading about Dynamic DNS scripts on the forum, so I wanted to test it. But when I try to past a script into Winbox or ssh terminal, it does not seem to work:
What I am doing wrong, or has this functionality changed?

You are missing a <space> on the first line, /system script add

Also do not use CTRL+V shortcut for pasting, it will give you some weird auto-complete function.

Thanks! I added the space. Then I got some new errors, so I edited the policy line, to reflect the options my RB has. And after that adjusted some of the quote chars. Now the script shows up in Winbox - System - Scripts. And when I run it, I even see some new entries in the logs.
Onwards ho! Now I have to get Dynamic DNS working, next step: port mapping for remote ssh access to my little server

I think there is no need to use this scripts anymore. use:
IP/ Cloud

Unless you can't upgrade to v.6

Unless you can't upgrade to v.6

Nope, no IP6 here as far as I know.

Hossain2094a ment RouterOS version 6, not ip
