- F)iles: The "F" command takes you to the Files System. Files are
- collections of text, programs, graphics, data bases, and other types of
- information stored in digital form. The Files System allows you to
- upload and download. Uploading is the sending of files from your
- computer system to RBBS-PC. Downloading is the transfer of files from
- RBBS-PC to your computer's memory, diskette, or printer.
-
- Tips:
- 1. RBBS-PC is built on the ideal that we will learn and help one
- another. You are strongly encouraged to upload files that you believe
- will be of value to other users.
-
- 2. You should use the L)ist, N)ew, and S)earch commands to look for
- files that you would like to download after you enter the Files System.
-
- 3. Files can be sent across phone lines at very rapid rates. Three
- hundred baud (baud is a measure of transmission speed) modems transmit
- approximately 30 characters per second, 1200 baud modems transmit at 120
- characters per second, and 2400 baud modems transmit at 240 characters
- per second.
