[About The Guide]
The UPLOAD CREDIT FACTOR provides a way of rewarding your
users for uploading files to you. If this value is set to a
non-zero value, after each upload session, the user is
granted that many seconds per minute of upload time. So, if
you set the credit factor to 30 (seconds), and a user spends
10 minutes uploading, he/she would be granted an extra 5
minutes for that session. Note that during uploads the timer
is "frozen" in addition to this bonus.
When a user gets a list of files in a file area, the format
of a file entry is the file name, length, date and
description. It is possible to omit the date from each line,
thus making it possible to have more verbose descriptions by
setting SHOW FILE DATES to "No".
Note that the asterisk normally displayed immediately after
the date which indicates the file is new since the last log-
on is still displayed.
When a file is uploaded using a batch protocol such as
Zmodem, or Ymodem, the original date of the file is normally
preserved when the file is saved in the upload area. This is
of little use if the file was originally created in 1987, so
RemoteAccess will, if the RESET UPLOAD FILE DATES option is
enabled, reset the date stamp of the file to the date on
which it was uploaded.
When a user displays a list of files, the default action is
to show missing files as "<MISSING>". The next two options
determine whether these missing files are displayed, and if
so what message is displayed. {+} The message is only
configurable in the registered version.
It is possible to disable uploads when the amount of free
space on your upload drive falls below a preset level. For
example, to disable uploads if there is less than 1 megabyte
free, set MINIMUM UPLOAD SPACE to 1000 (kilobytes).
If the SCAN NEW FILES AT LOGON option is enabled, the user
will be given the opportunity to run a check for files which
are new since his/her last call.
