- Attached Files
-
- Attached Files allows you to send and receive binary files via electronic
- mail. You can send spreadsheets, scripts, or text files to any GEnie
- user, using an error-checking protocol.
-
- Use the Send (Upload) Attached Files to transmit a file using XMODEM, use
- the Receive (Download) Attached Files to receive a file using XMODEM,
- YMODEM, or ZMODEM. The Receive Attached Files option allows for batch
- downloads and can download up to 16 files during one session.
-
- You will receive a normal GE Mail message that will tell you that you have
- an attached file waiting, if a user has sent you one.
-
- Attached Files is an easy, fast way to send data (of any sort) to another
- GEnie user.
-
- To upload an Attached File just enter M200 or MAIL at any GEnie main menu
- prompt. From the following menu select option 11 to upload your file.
- GEnie will ask you to enter the name you would like to use for the file,
- and then it will say READY FOR INPUT. At this point you should tell your
- telecommunications program to send (upload) a binary file using the XMODEM
- or XMODEM (CRC) protocol. When the upload is complete GEnie will ask you
- to enter a RETURN. Then it will ask for the GE Mail address of the person
- that you would like to have receive the file; if there was a problem with
- the upload then just enter QUIT at the TO: prompt. It will also prompt you
- for any addresses that you would like to have receive a carbon copy of the
- letter. The subject field is automatically entered for you, and will show
- the filename of the program you are sending. After you have entered this
- information GEnie will prompt you for a message to be sent along with the
- letter as a GE Mail message. If you wish to enter a letter you can do so
- just by entering the text (be sure to press RETURN at the end of each line,
- since there is no "word wrap" function available). When you are ready to
- send the letter just enter *S as the first two characters after a line
- prompt. GEnie will give you a confirmation notice that it has sent the
- letter.
-
- To receive (download) an Attached File in GEnie mail, enter M200 or MAIL
- at any GEnie main menu prompt. From the following menu select option 12.
- GEnie will display a list of the Attached Files that are currently in your
- GE Mailbox, and ask you which you would like to download. Just enter the
- Queue number (from the left hand side of the list) for the one that you want.
- GEnie will then give you a list of choices for file transfer protocols
- similar to those that you would see in a software library on GEnie. Please
- make sure to select one that your telecommunications package will support.
- Once you have done this GEnie will give you a prompt that says "File is
- ready. Start your receive file." At this point you should tell your
- telecommunications program to receive (download) a file (unless you are using
- ZMODEM which will start automatically). Please make sure to tell your
- software to receive the file with the same protocol that GEnie is sending it.
-
- Remember that Sending and Receiving GE Mail Attached Files is not included
- in the GEnie*Basic Services and you will be billed the standard GEnie Value
- Services rates for your time using these functions.
