Here's some help about how you can use Filefix to
download and upload files from my BBS.

You just have to write a message to 'Filefix' and tell
Areafix what he has to do for you.


Example - You want to request files:


  By: Stefan Graf
  To: FILEFIX, MISTER MUSIKER (2:245/4)
  Re: password                  <---- Areafix Password
  St: Pvt  Crash  Kill
  ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  %REQUEST SCANV80.ZIP          <---- Give it to me!
  %REQUEST JUMBO*.*             <---- Wildcards allowed
  %QUERY                        <---- Ask for a list of all
                                      available fileareas
                                      and their numbers
  %LIST #10                     <---- Ask for a filelist of
                                      area number 10


Filefix will put the requested files on HOLD for you
and you will get them with your next call.

Another method is to get files immediately. That means
the request has to be processed while the mailers are
connected. For this you simply additionally have to
request the magic Filename FILEFIX and you will get
your files at once.


Another Example - You want to send me new files:

  By: Thomas Fanslau
  To: FILEFIX, MISTER MUSIKER (2:245/4)
  Re: password                         <---- Areafix Password
  St: Pvt  Crash  Kill
  ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  SCANV80.ZIP  #10  McAfee's virus scanner
  JUMP.ZIP     #32  Jump action game (VGA)
  RA-ECHO.LZH  #1   Multi talent Echomail processor ;-)


  ^ Filename       ^ Description (will be added to
                                 FILES.BBS)
              ^ Number of the filearea where Filefix
                shall move the file.
