- How to use JetMail FileFix
-
- This programm makes it possible for you to connect and disconnect fileareas
- from this JetMail system. You don't need to install the program yourself.
- All you need to do is use it. One thing is neccesary: a password. You
- probably have already set this up; if not contact me first, there is no way
- you can use FileFix without a password! Apart from the password, you also
- need to know the name of my FileFix, "FileFix","FileMgr", "Raid", "Ticker"
- or "JetMail FileFix" will do.
-
-
- How to (dis)connect areas:
- ==========================
-
- Write a NETMAIL message to JetMail FileFix (or FileFix or FileMgr) on
- 2:2432/1101.0 (other address of course). On the subjectline you put the
- password you set up with this system. After the password, you could
- also specify some of the following flags:
-
- -q (%QUERY) : Send list of connected fileareas.
- -l (%LIST) : Send list of connected/available fileareas.
- -r (%RESCAN) : Rescan the requested filearea.
- -h (%HELP) : Send this helpfile.
-
- Instead of putting the flags into the subjectline, you can also write
- the equivalents in the braces into the message text. Note that %RESCAN
- works like a switch in this case. The first %RESCAN enables rescanning
- of the following areas and the next %RESCAN disables rescanning. To
- connect an area you put the names of the echomail areas you want to
- connect in the message text, (only 1 name on each line). To disconnect
- an area put a '-' in front of the area name in the messagetext.
-
- Example:
- =========================================================================
- Msg #59 / 1 - 60 Time: 11 Dec 91 14:25:56
- From: Carsten Brockmann on 2:2432/1101.1
- To : JetMail FileFix on 2:2432/1101
- Subj: password -l
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
- %HELP
- FAN.COMM.FIDO
- %RESCAN
- FAN.COMM.MISC
- %RESCAN
- JET_BETA
- -NODELIST
- -POINTS24
- =========================================================================
-
- This message connects you to FAN.COMM.FIDO, FAN.COMM.MISC and JET_BETA
- while at the same time disconnects you from NODELIST and POINTS24. It
- rescans FAN.COMM.MISC, sends a list of connected and available fileareas
- and this help text.
-
- The available fileareas on this system are divided into groups. Maybe
- you're not allowed to connect to some groups, because they are X-rated or
- only accessable under other network addresses. Ask the sysop of this system
- for access to these fileareas.
-
- It is possible to (dis)connect all fileareas (or some specific groups) which
- are available with the commands
-
- %-ALL [groups]
- %+ALL [groups] (or %ALL [groups])
-
- You can partially disable/enable fileareas with the commands
-
- %PASSIVE [groups]
- %ACTIVE [groups]
-
- If no groups are specified all groups are set to passive. This works
- also for groups which are normally only available under some other
- network addresses.
-
- The areas set to passive are not disconnected but no mail is passed to
- you.
-
- You can also (dis)connect fileareas using wildcards. Supported wildcarts
- are [], {}, * and ?.
-
- Examples:
-
- FAN.*
- FAN.COMM.{MISC,FIDO}
- EST_*
-
- =================================
- Changing Parts of your Link setup
- =================================
-
- You can also change some parts of your current link setup with the
- following commands:
-
- %COMPRESSION [ON/OFF]
-
- Enables or disables TIC file bundling. All TIC files waiting for your system
- will be put in a packet names *.?IC.
-
- ============================================================================
- If you have any problems using FileFix, please contact the system
- administrator on this system.
