-
- You pack your file(s) into a lha archive and make a *.readme file.
- The readme file must contain a 1. line which says "short:".
-
- Example:
-
- You will upload your file Test1.0.lha, you then make a readme file:
-
- Test1.0.lha
- Test1.0.readme
-
- The readme file looks like this:
- --------------------
- Short: testing upload to AmiNet 1.0
- Uploader: Christopher Brent
-
- This is just a test.
- --------------------
- END
-
- The Uploader: is optional, but recommended. You can also have Author: and
- type: eg. Type: util/libs. This refer to the directory which suits the kind
- of file your archive contains.
-
- Then log into Aminet via FTP and go to the Aminet directory (usually the
- pub/amiga/)
-
- Go then to the new/ directory. Here you can type:
-
- mput Test1.0.*
-
- (mput is for multi upload, use 'put' for only one file)
- Note: case-sensitive on filenames!
-
- and both of your files (.lha|.readme) will be uploaded. The files must be
- availeble from the unix shell cureent dir if you use it from this, or from
- your upload directory if you go thrue TCP/IP (via eg. AmiFTP).
-
- Then the AmiNet adm. will verify your file and then put onto a RECENT list.
-
- Hope this will get you along. :-)
