- + The up/download (UDL) module uses a log file for uploads, and a directory for
- + downloads. Both files are created by the install script; "upload-log" is
- + empty, and "directory" contains one line:
- +
- + branch file GENERAL; <date> by <sysop name>: General up/downloads
- +
- + This is the basic format of a directory entry. The word "branch" is reserved,
- + and indicates that this is the directory entry for the branch itself; files
- + in this branch have the word "branch" replaced by the branch's name. There is
- + no way to automatically create or delete files or branches; it has to be done
- + from the shell. (On the other hand, if the branch has a (UNIX) directory in
- + the "uploads" directory, uploads will be logged there in such a way that the
- + log entry may be simply copied from the upload-log to the directory.)
- +
- + Note that each branch is represented by a UNIX directory in the "library"
- + directory. The name should be lowercase, although user input of the name
- + and the name listed in the "directory" file are case-independent. If uploads
- + are to be permitted, a directory of the same name should be created in the
- + "upload" directory.
