REQFIL & REQDIR are file servers that allow users to upload and download files are well as receive directories and directory listings (as set up by the Sysop). These servers are intended to mimic the FILEX server (that is a part of the W0RLI BBS) and make it easier for users to access files by not having to deal with manuvering through FBBDOS or worrying about pathes. Another advantage to these servers is the Sysop defines and labels the file areas. This prevents users from wandering through your hard disk and allows directories to be labeled (max 80 characters). The servers also use the R: routing lines to find the home BBS of the originator of the message to the server. Other features of these servers are A message to the SysOp when an upload is received stating who uploaded the file, where it is located and when the upload occured Credit is given at the beginning of a file to the person who uploaded it Users will receive various messages for: successful uploads duplicate file names (for uploads), inexistant directories, etc The configuration file is simular to the portion of the file that configures the file sections on the W0RLI BBS (last time I looked The text used in responses from the server can be easily changed allowing for customization/other languages Variables are available to include variable info into the reply messages When requesting a directory listing, it is possible to set a filter using wildcards such as *.TXT The servers do not use as much memory as they used to There can be practically an unlimited number of files in a directory Previously there was a limit of about 1000 or less Long replies can be split into a Sysop settable number of lines Using the R95 Split format GET and REQFIL no longer need a subdirectory letter when downloading, just enter the name of the file you want Drives/directries not set up in the .CFG file are accessable for download Sysop settable with multiple security levels
