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.
