The Upload command is used to send files from your computer to the BBS. Your
computer or terminal must be capable of sending the file using Xmodem, CRC
Xmodem, or Ymodem protocol. If no protocol has been previously selected
when you give the Upload command, you will be prompted for a protocol;
otherwise, the previously selected protocol is used.
To begin uploading, enter the filename of the file you wish to send.
You must enter a legal MSDOS filename (8 character filename with optional 3
character extension). Do not include drive letters or directory pathnames.
If less than 200K of disk space is available, the BBS will display the
amount of space left and ask if you wish to continue. Press "N" if your file
is larger than the amount of space available, or "Y" to go on.
When the BBS is ready to receive your file, it will display the message
"ready to receive". What happens next depends on the terminal software that
you use. In most cases, you must give a command to your software that tells
it to load the file and begin sending it using the proper protocol.
When the file transfer completes successfully, you will be prompted to
enter a 1 to 40 character description of the file to be displayed so that
others will know what information the file contains.
If the SYSOP has assigned a "default" password to the files system,
your file will be password protected until it is cleared by the sysop.
The system "gives back" the amount of time it took you to upload the
file by increasing your time limit by the time it took, so that you lose no
time on the system for uploading.
