- Downloading Files from Subdirectories... The 'D' Command.
-
- A directory can be thought of as a "place" in the computer file system
- that contains files or other directories.
-
- To get a listing of the directories available, type 'W' at the BBS prompt.
-
- Now you will have a listing of the directories, (don't worry about the
- various numbers following the names). Typical names might be 'ARRL',
- 'DX', 'TRAFFIC', 'PACKET', etc. These directories "contain" files
- pertaining to the name of the directory. Ie; ARRL has arrl bulletins
- and announcements.
-
- To see what is in each directory, type 'W' at the bbs prompt, followed
- by the name of the directory. For Example, 'W ARRL'. Now you will see
- a listing of the files and their sizes. (At the moment, anything smaller
- than 1/2 K is shown as '0K').
-
- Now, you know the directory name and the file name. To download the
- file, just type 'D directory/file' at the BBS prompt. For example,
- to download the file 'ARRLBUL.04.89" from the ARRL directory, you
- would type 'D ARRL/ARRLBUL.04.89". To download the file "MICHIGAN"
- from the directory "NETROM", you would type 'D NETROM/MICHIGAN'.
