12.1 Outbound Requests
When you want to Request one or more files from a remote system,
you may do so using several different methods:
1. By using FM and entering a message with File or Update
Request status. The files you want to request from the
remote system are listed on the subject (Re:) line of the
message and you set FilReq or UpdReq to indicate that FD
should give the message special treatment.
2. By using FD's temporary mail services, which are accessed
with <Alt-M> from FD's main menu. Whether or not the
Request is treated as an Update Request or File Request
is determined by how you specify the filename(s) in the
File(s): field. If you include a path, FD will treat it
as an Update Request, otherwise, it will be treated as a
File Request.
Requests created this way will not remain if FD is
brought down (for one reason or another) as they are
intended for temporary, quick and dirty, purposes only.
3. Use a robot utility, such as XRobot, to create the File
or Update Request message(s).
Note that an Update Request with no matching target, that is, you
have attempted to Update Request a file that does not exist on
your system, is automatically converted to a File Request.
