║ The File Transfer System PRO (FTS PRO) Product Overview ║
╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
As your BBS's file base continues to grow, your users will be
downloading, more and more each day. Before you know it, your file
system is going to be working harder than you ever imagined... and as
your users take a closer look at it, they'll be shocked if they find it
does not provide them with the sophisticated interface they are so
accustomed to when they call BBSs running software like PCBoard,
WildCat, and The Major BBS.
The File Transfer System:
TBBS's standard file system lacks simple features like file
tagging, queue management, and INTUITIVE batch downloading.
Not to mention innovations like zero impact CD-ROM support
(including support for multi-disk changers), archive
extraction, GIF previewing, and real time faxing.
There are a few replacement file systems that have been
written... you may even be running one of them.
We want to introduce you to something we feel is better:
The File Transfer System, Professional version (FTS PRO).
An unrivaled alternative to the standard TBBS file system.
In addition to providing all of the aforementioned features,
FTS PRO gives users an easy and powerful interface and provides
sysops with more flexibility than ever. With FTS PRO sysops
can define an unlimited number of File Areas for their
users... CD-ROM File Directories can be ONLINE side by side
with File Directories on the hard drive.
Users can easily scan these File Areas (comments and extended
descriptions included), tagging any number of files at a time
for download. Unlike existing file systems, FTS PRO gives the
user the capability to scroll both up and down in a File
Directory, during which all commands are available with a
single keystroke!
FTS PRO also includes PRO Upload, allowing seamless
integration of batch uploading into your file system!
Using PRO Upload, users can upload an unlimited number of
files, and may use up to 20 lines (sysop configurable) to
describe each.
Furthermore, FTS PRO is the ONLY file system to fully support
RIP graphics! RIP, or Remote Imaging Protocol, allows for a
graphical, mouse-driven interface for the remote terminal and
promises to be the graphical standard of the future. FTS PRO
has been specifically designed to take full advantage of RIP
graphics, helping you keep your system yet another step ahead
of the competition!
As you might imagine, RIP makes file transfer easier than ever
before: the user can select any command by clicking a button...
and can click on any file entry he/she wishes to tag!
NOTE: FTS PRO automatically detects the presence of RIP. To take a
test drive of the future simply call your system with a RIP
terminal program (such as RIPTerm or QModem PRO) and enter
FTS PRO. Of course, you have to install FTS PRO first, but as
you'll soon see that requires no effort at all thanks to
our custom designed menu and mouse driven DOS configuration
program: PROSETUP.
In conclusion, other TDBS file systems are not only complex to
configure but, more critically, too slow to use on a TRUE
multi-line system. Based on feedback from our current users,
many of whom were running one of the other 3rd party replacement
file systems, FTS PRO is much FASTER (especially displaying
file listings and menus to the user) and EASIER to install
than ANY other file system!
Please take the time to try it and let us know your results!
The File Management System:
No other TBBS file system to date incorporates substantial
online file management. The File Management System (FMS)
is a sophisticated management program supplementing the
powerful design of FTS PRO.
FMS makes editing/adding descriptions and comments as well
as moving/copying/deleting/adding files a snap; the
descriptions can even be imported from any text file within
an archive! Equally as important, the FMS interface has
been designed to allow for the smallest learning curve
possible, making FMS one of the most intuitive management
systems ever written.
In addition to its sophisticated file handling functions,
FMS has the ability to alert the sysop of files listed in
the File Directory which do not exist on the disk.
Conversely, FMS can determine files that exist on the disk
but not in the File Directory. This makes adding new files
as simple as copying them to the DOS sub-directory you want
and running FMS!
Finally, FMS includes the basis for an open architecture
user management system. This allows any TDBS or DOS based
program to indirectly modify any user's userlog account.
FMS takes advantage of this design by providing the sysop
with the option of removing bytes from a user's account when
deleting a file he/she uploaded!
For your convenience we have written both a TDBS ONLINE (.TPG)
version and DOS executable (.EXE) version of FMS.
Sysop Control Panel:
The Sysop Control Panel (SYSCTRL) provides even greater ONLINE
functionality to the FTS PRO system. TICK processing allows
systems connected to File Distribution Networks such as SDN to
import their file packets WITHOUT shutting down to run TICK.
Additionally, if server control software is being used the
archive will be scanned for a FILE_ID.DIZ extended description
file and, if present, will use it instead of the one line TICK
description. Furthermore, a RENAME option is provided to allow
automatically renaming files during the import process
(eg: .SDN to .ARJ).
SYSCTRL also provides ONLINE ASCII file list creation, including
the File Directories, .FAR files, and .ALL master list files!
Finally, ONLINE Disk Names configuration allows changing the
location or ONLINE status of any disk configured, which makes
CD-ROM rotations a snap!
PROSETUP:
PROSETUP is the key to FTS PRO's configuration and installation.
Never again will you be forced to edit a confusing text
configuration file, create directories, or perform specific
upgrade steps... PROSETUP handles it all!
PROSETUP is a professional menu and mouse driven DOS application
with full online help and a highly intuitive interface. It rids
you of the complicated command line switches which push your Opt
Data strings to the limit (64 characters). Never again be
confused by what command line switch you need, what they do, or
even how your color settings will look (PROSETUP provides a
Color Options Preview function, too!).
Most importantly, PROSETUP lets you easily configure File Areas
and File Directories with various options, restricting users
according to authorization and privilege level.
See for yourself what an improvement The File Transfer System
PRO is over your current file system. Since installation is a
snap, spend the next few minutes testing it out. If you have
any difficulty whatsoever, please contact us immediately. We
are more than willing to help you!
