r1cfDESCRIPTION:r0 c7User Configurations for CNet and FTP
c2
The Configurations menu allows you to taylor the INetShell to your
needs. It has options to prevent users from interrupting your time
within the shell (by On-Line Messages (ie. OLMs) or System Messages
such as the User-Monitor messages). It also allows you to configure
the FTP client (known as NcFTP - pronounced Nik-F-T-P) to your needs.
And finally, it allows you to edit your Finger file. This file will be
explained below.
c6
Commands listed on the Configuration menu are:
c5H c1(toggle hide mode - hide from all ports)
ccAllows you to toggle C-Net's HIDE command which allows you
to hide from all ports (no one will be able to see you on the
WHO display). Setting this to On will have the following
effect: When you enter the INetShell, it will auto-hide from
all ports and INetShell will auto-unhide you when you exit.
c5M c1(toggle muffle mode - muffle all ports)
ccAllows you to toggle C-Net's MUffle command which prevents
you from receiving any On-Line Messages (OLM) from any port.
This is usually a good thing to do as OLMs can really mess
up the prompting in some areas of the program. Setting this
option to On will force INetShell to automatically muffle all
ports when you enter the program and then unmuffle when you exit.
c5T c1(toggle user-monitor mode)
ccThis option will allow you to toggle C-Net's User-Monitor
command (known as UM). Some users automatically do a "UM;*"
at login which will tell C-Net to send them System Messages
whenever a user logs on or off. If you do not have this set
on your account, then leave this option to "No". If you have
it turned on (UM;*), it is suggested that you toggle this option
to "Yes". Setting this option to "Yes" will make INetShell
toggle the User-Monitor to OFF while you are in the program and
toggle it back to ON when you exit the program.
c5D c1(disable MOTD file at startup)
ccThis option will allow you to disable the MOTD (message of the day)
file from displaying at the startup of the INetShell. It has only
2 options. Yes and No.
c5E c1(edit your finger file)
ccAllows you to edit your finger file. A finger file is a sort
of User-Information file that anyone on the Internet can pull up.
If you are familiar with C-Net's "UI" command, this is quite
similar. Here, you have the opportunity to write a little about
yourself so that users who FINGER your account will see what you
have to tell them. This option brings you directly into C-Net's
Editor mode (visual or line editor) and allows you to customize
your Finger.
c5F c1(edit your ftp .netrc configuration)
ccThis option brings you to a sub-menu which allows you to
customize the NcFTP client to your wishes. Here are the
available options in this menu:
c51 c1Download Progress Meter
ccThis allows you to toggle the FTP download progress
meter 4 ways.
NONE: no progress display
DOT-NOTATION: dots (.) are displayed during transfer
BAR-GRAPH: a bar graph shows transfer progress
K-RECEIVED: number of kilobytes shown
c52 c1Ansi-Escapes
ccThis option allows you to toggle Ansi-Escapes in
the NcFTP client. (default=On)
c53 c1Auto-Binary Mode
ccThis allows you to automatically set the transfer
mode to BINARY (type I) in the NcFTP client. It is
suggested to leave it to it's default. (default=On)
c54 c1Verbose Mode
ccThis setting has 3 settings:
TERSE: minimal messages
SYSTEM-MESSAGES: only display FTP system messages
ALL-MESSAGES: displays all messages (default)
c55 c1Auto-Anonymous Logins
ccThis option will automatically log you on to the
FTP site as the user "anonymous". Most FTP sites
allow this user login and it is suggested to leave
this setting to "Yes" which is the default.
c56 c1Recently Called List
ccThis allows you to view the recently called list
by using the OPEN command at the NcFTP> prompt. For
more information on the OPEN command, type HELP OPEN
when you are at the NcFTP> prompt (during an FTP run).
(default=On)
c57 c1Display NcFTP Tips
ccNcFTP has the ability to display "TIPS" to you when
you first enter client. Tips are short-cuts on how
to use NcFTP. (default=Yes)
c5Q c1Quit and Save
ccThis command will save your preferences file and
return you to the main Configuration menu.
c5Q c1(return to the main prompt)
ccThis option saves your config settings and returns you
to the INetShell main menu.
