(U)pload a File - Function Help
-------------------------------
Subcommands: (filename 1) (filename 2) (filename 3) (protocol) (gb or bye)
(filename) any valid DOS filename may be used and more than one
filename may be entered if you choose to use a BATCH
protocol for the file transfer
(protocol) is a letter from A-Z of the protocol desired
based on the protocols available
(gb) Either (gb) or (bye) may be entered on the command
(bye) line to indicate that you want the system to hang up
after it finishes the file transfer
Description: Allows transferring a file from your machine to the host system.
There can be up to 26 different types of protocols available. If
you have not previously set a default protocol for the system you
are calling, you will be asked for the protocol type each time
you request a download.
Ascii protocol transfers are only available on non-binary text
files. Filenames which have extensions of .EXE, .ARC, .COM,
.WKS, etc. can not be downloaded using Ascii protocol.
Due to the wide range of protocols now available, it is suggested
you check with the sysop of this system if you have a question on
which protocols have been implemented and how to properly set
your software protocols to match those of this system.
Selecting
Files: Unlike downloading a filename must be specified exactly as you
intend to send it. In other words, if you type the word "TEST"
then the name of the file when posted will be called "TEST" with
no other extension added to it.
After giving the system one or more filenames to be uploaded it
will ask you for a description of each file. Your description
can be up to 8 lines long of 45 characters each. If you wish to
make a particular file PRIVATE so that it is not posted in the
public upload directory you simply place a "/" at the beginning
of the first line of text in your description.
Batch
Uploads: When uploading a batch of files you must enter at least ONE
filename even if it is a dummy filename. Then on your end you
simply tell your software to send all of the desired files. Any
files that are received which you did not specify originally
will then be brought up on the screen with the system asking you
to describe each of them.
To send more than one file you must either enter (UB) as your
upload command or on the command line simply type more than one
filename. See the examples below.
Examples: U TEST - uploads TEST using the default protocol
U TEST X - uploads TEST using the Xmodem protocol
U TEST1 TEST2 Y - uploads both TEST1 & TEST2 using Ymodem/BATCH
