- ║ The File Transfer System PRO (FTS PRO) Product Overview ║
- ╚═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
-
-
- As your BBS's file base continues to grow, your users will be
- downloading, more and more each day. Before you know it, your file
- system is going to be working harder than you ever imagined... and as
- your users take a closer look at it, they'll be shocked if they find it
- does not provide them with the sophisticated interface they are so
- accustomed to when they call BBSs running software like PCBoard,
- WildCat, and The Major BBS.
-
-
- The File Transfer System:
-
- TBBS's standard file system lacks simple features like file
- tagging, queue management, and INTUITIVE batch downloading.
- Not to mention innovations like zero impact CD-ROM support
- (including support for multi-disk changers), archive
- extraction, GIF previewing, and real time faxing.
-
- There are a few replacement file systems that have been
- written... you may even be running one of them.
-
- We want to introduce you to something we feel is better:
- The File Transfer System, Professional version (FTS PRO).
- An unrivaled alternative to the standard TBBS file system.
-
- In addition to providing all of the aforementioned features,
- FTS PRO gives users an easy and powerful interface and provides
- sysops with more flexibility than ever. With FTS PRO sysops
- can define an unlimited number of File Areas for their
- users... CD-ROM File Directories can be ONLINE side by side
- with File Directories on the hard drive.
-
- Users can easily scan these File Areas (comments and extended
- descriptions included), tagging any number of files at a time
- for download. Unlike existing file systems, FTS PRO gives the
- user the capability to scroll both up and down in a File
- Directory, during which all commands are available with a
- single keystroke!
-
- FTS PRO also includes PRO Upload, allowing seamless
- integration of batch uploading into your file system!
- Using PRO Upload, users can upload an unlimited number of
- files, and may use up to 20 lines (sysop configurable) to
- describe each.
-
- Furthermore, FTS PRO is the ONLY file system to fully support
- RIP graphics! RIP, or Remote Imaging Protocol, allows for a
- graphical, mouse-driven interface for the remote terminal and
- promises to be the graphical standard of the future. FTS PRO
- has been specifically designed to take full advantage of RIP
- graphics, helping you keep your system yet another step ahead
- of the competition!
-
- As you might imagine, RIP makes file transfer easier than ever
- before: the user can select any command by clicking a button...
- and can click on any file entry he/she wishes to tag!
-
- NOTE: FTS PRO automatically detects the presence of RIP. To take a
- test drive of the future simply call your system with a RIP
- terminal program (such as RIPTerm or QModem PRO) and enter
- FTS PRO. Of course, you have to install FTS PRO first, but as
- you'll soon see that requires no effort at all thanks to
- our custom designed menu and mouse driven DOS configuration
- program: PROSETUP.
-
- In conclusion, other TDBS file systems are not only complex to
- configure but, more critically, too slow to use on a TRUE
- multi-line system. Based on feedback from our current users,
- many of whom were running one of the other 3rd party replacement
- file systems, FTS PRO is much FASTER (especially displaying
- file listings and menus to the user) and EASIER to install
- than ANY other file system!
-
- Please take the time to try it and let us know your results!
-
-
- The File Management System:
-
- No other TBBS file system to date incorporates substantial
- online file management. The File Management System (FMS)
- is a sophisticated management program supplementing the
- powerful design of FTS PRO.
-
- FMS makes editing/adding descriptions and comments as well
- as moving/copying/deleting/adding files a snap; the
- descriptions can even be imported from any text file within
- an archive! Equally as important, the FMS interface has
- been designed to allow for the smallest learning curve
- possible, making FMS one of the most intuitive management
- systems ever written.
-
- In addition to its sophisticated file handling functions,
- FMS has the ability to alert the sysop of files listed in
- the File Directory which do not exist on the disk.
- Conversely, FMS can determine files that exist on the disk
- but not in the File Directory. This makes adding new files
- as simple as copying them to the DOS sub-directory you want
- and running FMS!
-
- Finally, FMS includes the basis for an open architecture
- user management system. This allows any TDBS or DOS based
- program to indirectly modify any user's userlog account.
-
- FMS takes advantage of this design by providing the sysop
- with the option of removing bytes from a user's account when
- deleting a file he/she uploaded!
-
- For your convenience we have written both a TDBS ONLINE (.TPG)
- version and DOS executable (.EXE) version of FMS.
-
-
- Sysop Control Panel:
-
- The Sysop Control Panel (SYSCTRL) provides even greater ONLINE
- functionality to the FTS PRO system. TICK processing allows
- systems connected to File Distribution Networks such as SDN to
- import their file packets WITHOUT shutting down to run TICK.
- Additionally, if server control software is being used the
- archive will be scanned for a FILE_ID.DIZ extended description
- file and, if present, will use it instead of the one line TICK
- description. Furthermore, a RENAME option is provided to allow
- automatically renaming files during the import process
- (eg: .SDN to .ARJ).
-
- SYSCTRL also provides ONLINE ASCII file list creation, including
- the File Directories, .FAR files, and .ALL master list files!
-
- Finally, ONLINE Disk Names configuration allows changing the
- location or ONLINE status of any disk configured, which makes
- CD-ROM rotations a snap!
-
-
- PROSETUP:
-
- PROSETUP is the key to FTS PRO's configuration and installation.
- Never again will you be forced to edit a confusing text
- configuration file, create directories, or perform specific
- upgrade steps... PROSETUP handles it all!
-
- PROSETUP is a professional menu and mouse driven DOS application
- with full online help and a highly intuitive interface. It rids
- you of the complicated command line switches which push your Opt
- Data strings to the limit (64 characters). Never again be
- confused by what command line switch you need, what they do, or
- even how your color settings will look (PROSETUP provides a
- Color Options Preview function, too!).
-
- Most importantly, PROSETUP lets you easily configure File Areas
- and File Directories with various options, restricting users
- according to authorization and privilege level.
-
- See for yourself what an improvement The File Transfer System
- PRO is over your current file system. Since installation is a
- snap, spend the next few minutes testing it out. If you have
- any difficulty whatsoever, please contact us immediately. We
- are more than willing to help you!
