FTPMAL v2.0ß
FTPMAL is Arexx script for YAM which can take any standard Aminet file list
(RECENT, NEW, Aminet mail server search result...), let you select files you
like, and make script for any FTP-mail server which will then mail you back
all files you've selected.
If you don't already receive filelists of Aminet uploads, send email to
aminet-server@wuarchive.wustl.edu with HELP in message body, and you will
receive email telling you how to subscribe to weekly or daily aminet uploads
list, and how to use Aminet mail search.
FEATURES:
-> Works with ANY Aminet filelist
-> MUIRexx GUI for selection of files
Not yet implemented:
-> Exclude file - list of directories you don't want to download from
-> Autodl file - list of files you want to download automatically
USAGE:
From YAM:
Select filelist you like, choose 'Execute script...' option in 'Scripts'
menu, and doubleclick on FTPMAL.rexx
From Shell/CLI:
FTPMAL.rexx [filename]
If FTPMAL is started without arguments, it will open selected message in YAM
and make script from it. If there is an argument, it will try to make script
from filename specified in argument.
In either case:
When and if FTPMAL Window is opened, you need to doubleclick on a file in
upper listview to move it to lower listview, and to doubleclick on a file in
lower listview to move it to upper listview. When you click on Submit, script
for downloading files in lower listview will be made.
CONFIGURATION:
To configure FTPMAL, you have to load it into your favourite text editor, and
change one of following variables:
GetReadMe
If set to YES, FTPMAL will get .readme file for any file in list.
AllowEdit
If set to YES, it allows you to edit script before sending.
If set to NO, it sends script immediately after finishing.
If set to GUI, it allows you to edit script with GUI.
Header
Line which goes in front of script. If you need more lines, use d2c(10)
instead of enter, f.e.: Header="size huge"d2c(10)"binary"
Footer
Same as Header, but it goes on the end of script.
In this beta version it is unwise to change following:
TempFile
Name of temporary file which is used by FTPMAL.
MailFile
Name of another temporary file which is used by FTPMAL.
INSTALLATION:
Copy FTPMAL.rexx to YAM:Rexx/
Copy FTPMALGUI.rexx to YAM:Rexx/
Copy mlist.rexx to YAM:Rexx/
Copy FTPMAL.prefs to ENVARC:mui/ and ENV:MUI/
Copy FTPMAL.doc and its icon wherever you like...
or
Make installer script which does the above and send it to me :)
HISTORY:
2.0ß -> Added FTPMALGUI.rexx for GUI
-> Changed default server to ftp-mail@uni-paderborn.de
-> Started implementation of excl and autodl files
1.0 -> Initial release
FUTURE:
-> Bugfixes
-> Implementing of excl and autodl files
-> Better GUI
-> AmigaGuide docs
-> Installer script
-> Any (reasonable) requests
BUGS:
This is beta version, which means that there are probably some bugs, but
possibility that there are bugs which can crash your sistem, or destroy all
emails you have, is very low.
NAME:
FTPMAL is abbreviation of FTPMailAminetList . Perhaps you can think of some
name which isn't so ugly?
WARE:
This program is emailware, which means that you should send email to author
if you like it...
