The Files command displays a listing of files available for downloading. It
prompts you to enter the "Starting Filename or Wildcard" of the directory
you wish to view. There are three ways to respond to this prompt:
Pressing RETURN without typing anything gives you a list of all files
in the current directory. The list is in alphabetical order and shows the
filename, date uploaded, size in Kilobytes, and a description of the file.
Typing a filename, or the first few characters of a filename, WITHOUT a
wildcard, lists files in alphabetical order starting with the filename
entered. For example, if you enter "L", you will get a list beginning with
the files that start with the letter L, and continuing to the end.
Finally, you may type a wildcard (a filename containing one or more
"*" or "?" characters). In this case, only those files that match the
wildcard specification are shown. In addition, the prompt "Search all
directories (Y/N)?" appears. If "Y" is selected, the program will list all
files in all directories that match the wildcard; otherwise, only files in
the current directory are listed.
A "+" sign displayed in the file listing indicates a password protected
file. You can only be download such a file if you know the password.
You can abort any file listing at any time by pressing the <spacebar>
or <ctrl-c> keys. Also, refer to the "New" command for information about
date-sorted file listings.
