- The Files command displays a listing of files available for downloading. It
- prompts you to enter the "Starting Filename or Wildcard" of the directory
- you wish to view. There are three ways to respond to this prompt:
-
- Pressing RETURN without typing anything gives you a list of all files
- in the current directory. The list is in alphabetical order and shows the
- filename, date uploaded, size in Kilobytes, and a description of the file.
-
- Typing a filename, or the first few characters of a filename, WITHOUT a
- wildcard, lists files in alphabetical order starting with the filename
- entered. For example, if you enter "L", you will get a list beginning with
- the files that start with the letter L, and continuing to the end.
-
- Finally, you may type a wildcard (a filename containing one or more
- "*" or "?" characters). In this case, only those files that match the
- wildcard specification are shown. In addition, the prompt "Search all
- directories (Y/N)?" appears. If "Y" is selected, the program will list all
- files in all directories that match the wildcard; otherwise, only files in
- the current directory are listed.
-
- A "+" sign displayed in the file listing indicates a password protected
- file. You can only be download such a file if you know the password.
-
- You can abort any file listing at any time by pressing the <spacebar>
- or <ctrl-c> keys. Also, refer to the "New" command for information about
- date-sorted file listings.
