WINCOMM HOST MODE HELP
Every user is presented the following menu after successfully logging
on and viewing the optional HOST.MSG file.
┌───────────────────────────────────┐
│ F)iles U)pload D)ownload │
│ H)elp T)ime C)hat G)oodbye │
└───────────────────────────────────┘
An available function is invoked by pressing the first letter of the name.
No carriage return is needed so to download, for example, just press <D>.
Function Description
CHAT: Sounds the speaker on the host machine and waits for the
host operator.
DOWNLOAD: The user is prompted for a protocol to use and then for
the specification of the file(s) to download from the
host. If the user is a super-user, a path may be
included in the specification, otherwise, only files in
the Host download directory are allowed. When a valid file
specification is entered, the message 'Begin your ???????
transfer procedure' is issued and the host waits for the
user to download the file(s) using the specified protocol.
FILES: Prompts for a file specification (like DOS' DIR command)
and displays a list of matching downloadable files.
A user can cancel the file display by pressing Ctrl-C.
Superusers can view any directory by including a path in
the file specification.
GOODBYE: Terminates user and recycles the host to answer the next
call.
HELP: Displays the ascii text file: HOST.TXT if it exists.
The help file is searched for in the current WinComm macro
directory. A user can cancel the help display by pressing
Ctrl-C.
TIME: The time the user came online is displayed, followed by
the current time.
UPLOAD: The user is prompted for a protocol to use for the
transfer. A file specification is then asked for,
followed by a file description. The host then waits for
the user to begin using the specified protocol to upload
the file(s). Files are placed in the Host mode download
directory.
