@X0ADescription:@X0F  @X02Allows transferring a file from your machine to the host system.

@X0F              @X02There can be up to 26 different types of protocols available.  If
@X0F              @X02you have not previously set a default protocol for the system you
@X0F              @X02are calling, you will be asked for the protocol type each time
@X0F              @X02you request a download.

@X02              Ascii protocol transfers are only available on non-binary text
              files.  Filenames which have extensions of .EXE, .ARC, .COM,
              .WKS, etc.  can not be downloaded using Ascii protocol.

              Due to the wide range of protocols now available, it is suggested
              you check with the sysop of this system if you have a question on
              which protocols have been implemented and how to properly set
              your software protocols to match those of this system.

@X0ASelecting
@X0AFiles:     @X02   Unlike downloading a filename must be specified exactly as you
              intend to send it.  In other words, if you type the word "TEST"
              then the name of the file when posted will be called "TEST" with
              no other extension added to it.

              After giving the system one or more filenames to be uploaded it
              will ask you for a description of each file.  Your description
              can be up to 8 lines long of 45 characters each.  If you wish to
              make a particular file PRIVATE so that it is not posted in the
              public upload directory you simply place a "@X0C/@X02" at the beginning
              of the first line of text in your description.

@X0ABatch
@X0AUploads:@X02      When uploading a batch of files you must enter at least ONE
@X0F              @X02filename even if it is a dummy filename.  Then on your end you
@X0F              @X02simply tell your software to send all of the desired files.  Any
@X0F              @X02files that are received which you did not specify originally
@X0F              @X02will then be brought up on the screen with the system asking you
@X0F              @X02to describe each of them.

@X0F              @X02To send more than one file you must either enter (UB) as your
@X0F              @X02upload command or on the command line simply type more than one
@X0F              @X02filename.  See the examples below.

@X0EExamples: @X0F    @X0CU TEST         @X0F @X07- uploads TEST using the default protocol
@X0F              @X0CU TEST X       @X0F @X07- uploads TEST using the Xmodem protocol
@X0F              @X0CU TEST1 TEST2 Y@X0F @X07- uploads both TEST1 & TEST2 using Ymodem/BATCH
