@X0F              @X0C(filename)@X0F @X0Bany valid DOS filename may be used and more than one
@X0F              @X0C          @X0F @X0Bfilename may be entered if you choose to use a BATCH
@X0F              @X0C          @X0F @X0Bprotocol for the file transfer

@X0F              @X0C(protocol)@X0F @X0Bis a letter from A-Z of the protocol desired
@X0F              @X0C          @X0F @X0Bbased on the protocols available

@X0F              @X0C(gb)      @X0F @X0BEither @X0C(gb)@X0B or @X0C(bye)@X0B may be entered on the command
@X0F              @X0C(bye)     @X0F @X0Bline to indicate that you want the system to hang up
@X0F                         @X0Bafter it finishes the file transfer

@X0FDescription:  @X0BAllows transferring a file from your machine to the host system.

@X0F              @X0BThere can be up to 26 different types of protocols available.  If
@X0F              @X0Byou have not previously set a default protocol for the system you
@X0F              @X0Bare calling, you will be asked for the protocol type each time
@X0F              @X0Byou request a download.

@X0F              @X0BAscii protocol transfers are only available on non-binary text
@X0F              @X0Bfiles.  Filenames which have extensions of .EXE, .ARC, .COM,
@X0F              @X0B.WKS, etc.  can not be downloaded using Ascii protocol.

@X0F              @X0BDue to the wide range of protocols now available, it is suggested
@X0F              @X0Byou check with the sysop of this system if you have a question on
@X0F              @X0Bwhich protocols have been implemented and how to properly set
@X0F              @X0Byour software protocols to match those of this system.

@X0FSelecting
@X0FFiles:        @X0BUnlike downloading a filename must be specified exactly as you
@X0F              @X0Bintend to send it.  In other words, if you type the word "TEST"
@X0F              @X0Bthen the name of the file when posted will be called "TEST" with
@X0F              @X0Bno other extension added to it.

@X0F              @X0BAfter giving the system one or more filenames to be uploaded it
@X0F              @X0Bwill ask you for a description of each file.  Your description
@X0F              @X0Bcan be up to 8 lines long of 45 characters each.  If you wish to
@X0F              @X0Bmake a particular file PRIVATE so that it is not posted in the
@X0F              @X0Bpublic upload directory you simply place a "/" at the beginning
@X0F              @X0Bof the first line of text in your description.

@X0FBatch
@X0FUploads:      @X0BWhen uploading a batch of files you must enter at least ONE
@X0F              @X0Bfilename even if it is a dummy filename.  Then on your end you
@X0F              @X0Bsimply tell your software to send all of the desired files.  Any
@X0F              @X0Bfiles that are received which you did not specify originally
@X0F              @X0Bwill then be brought up on the screen with the system asking you
@X0F              @X0Bto describe each of them.

@X0F              @X0BTo send more than one file you must either enter (UB) as your
@X0F              @X0Bupload command or on the command line simply type more than one
@X0F              @X0Bfilename.  See the examples below.

@X0FExamples:     @X0CU TEST         @X0B @X0F-@X0B uploads TEST using the default protocol
@X0F              @X0CU TEST X       @X0B @X0F-@X0B uploads TEST using the Xmodem protocol
@X0F              @X0CU TEST1 TEST2 Y@X0B @X0F-@X0B uploads both TEST1 & TEST2 using Ymodem/BATCH
