Allfix 4.31 to RemoteAccess 2.0x file areas converter.
Here is a little utility that will update your files.ra with new areas from
allfix's fareas.fix file. This utility is designed with the intention of
ADDING the new information to a blank record already in files.ra or else
appending a new record in no blank ones exist.
How it does the job.
-------------------
It scans through files.ra using the directory information from Fareas.fix.
It tries to locate matching directory names. If a directory that is setup
under fareas.fix is located in Files.ra, it is assumed that RemoteAccess has
already be configured with this area. It doesn't matter if the ending '\'
is on the file directory path as this program will temperarly put it there
for searching and matching purposes. Should a directory not exist in files.ra
that is setup in Fareas.fix, this utility will search for the first blank
record in Files.ra and update it with the new entry. You must specify a pre-
setup file area to use as a mask for the new area. Meaning, if you want
this new area to have the same config as... Say the new uploads directory...
simply enter the area number of that area. The ul, dl and list securitys and
flag setting as well as the other information will be duped into the new area.
If you wish to update a temp.ra file instead of the files.ra, simply copy
the files.ra to temp.ra and supply that name as the 2nd parameter. The
file must exist or it'll generate and error. This program will not create
the file.
Also, Passthru areas are NOT added to Files.ra due to the nature of those
area types.
Syntax:
-------
AF_RAUPD ALLFIXFILEbase RAFILEbase MASKAREA.
Where allfixfile is the full drive:\path\filename.ext of the fareas.fix file.
RAfile is the drive:\path\filename.ext of files.ra or temp.ra. You must
create temp.ra.
Maskarea is the file area in files.ra that you wish to dupe the security and
setup info from.
Responsibility
--------------
You are responsible for the up keep and protection of your system. Therefore,
I take absolutely NO RESPONSIBILITY for the actions of this program. I will
only warrant that this program will take up valuable disk space... And that is
it.
PLEASE BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE USING THIS PROGRAM.
Registration
------------
None... It's freeware (postcardware).
Use it... Enjoy it. If it works for you then excellent. But, if you
would... Just send me a post card or drop me some netmail at
1:363/278@fidonet that would be nice... And as always, should you feel the
need to donate for the future development of utilities, I would most happily
except. <VBG>
