- ############ Fetch-O-Matic Settings File #############
-
- #A pound sign (#) begins every comment line such as this one (all such lines
- #are ignored when this file is accessed). There are two columns of data in each
- #of various sections below. Rewrite column 2 to conform to your situation.
- #Don't change anything in column 1. The number of spaces before column 2 is
- #not important, but use spaces only, not tabs. If the text you are inserting
- #wraps to the next line that is OK; unless you have typed <return> it will be
- #read as a continuation, not as a new line. But do make sure that there is a
- #<return> after each line of data, and be sure not to insert any spaces after
- #the column 2 entry and before the return (this could cause an error in reading
- #the entry, since Mac filenames, for example, can include spaces). Extra
- #returns (blank lines) are ignored.
-
- #In this first section, include the trailing directory delimiter in the home
- #(site root) and remote directory names, and begin the remoteHome name with a
- #slash. The localHome must have colon delimiters, and the remoteHome must
- #have slash delimiters. Use full pathnames. If the remote home is "/" then just
- #enter that single slash. Do not include the host name in remoteHome. If you
- #don't know your remoteHome path, log on to your site with Fetch and open the
- #"Fetch Transcript" window. Just above the listing of your site root will be a
- #line '"</.....>" is current directory'. Copy this path (and end with a slash).

- localHome MyHardDrive:MaybeAFolderOrTwo:MySiteRootFolder:
- remoteHome /some_dir/maybe_another_dir/my_site_root_dir/

- #In the following section, enter the name of your server, your logon name, and
- #password preferences. The password preferences have three choices: 1. Enter
- #your password (the passWordSave entry will be ignored in this case), and
- #you'll never be asked for it by the applications: security = none; 2. Leave
- #the passWord line blank, set passwordSave to anything except N; you'll be
- #asked for it once by each F-O-M application: security = poor; or 3. Leave the
- #passWord line blank, set passwordSave to N; you'll have to type in the
- #password every time you run an application that signs on: security = good. If
- #you elect option 2, your password is reasonably secure (stored encrypted), but
- #anyone can log into your site from your machine. If using option 2, to change
- #your password, just change the passWordSave letter to something (anything)
- #else, which will re-trigger a query for a password. You may change the
- #password options at any time.

- #The following two files may be renamed and/or moved, but must exist within
- #the site on both local and remote machines. Do not include the path from
- #desktop to (local) root, but do include any subsequent path (deeper than the
- #site root) using colon delimiters. For example, if your changesFile is in
- #your site in a directory called "site_admin" at the root of your site, the
- #listing should read: changesFile site_admin:1changes.txt
- #and so forth. Colons (if present) are automatically changed to slashes by
- #Fetch-O-matic when accessing the remote copies of these files. You may use the
- #default names below. These files will be automatically created by the
- #FetchProfile application with the names as entered here.

-
- #If you have a folder within your local site copy whose contents you do not
- #wish to be added to the To Upload list by FetchNewLocal, enter it here. Do not
- #include the path from desktop to (local) root, but do include any subsequent
- #path (deeper than the root) using colon delimiters, and conclude with a colon,
- #as: ignoreFolder MaybeAFolderInMySiteRoot:dontUploadMyContents: If you
- #don't have such a folder, leave this setting blank.

- #to enable you to have more than one version of Fetch, and choose which one to
- #use. Enter the name exactly as it appears on your drive, or else you will be
- #asked for it each time you run a Fetch-O-Matic application. If you have two
- #versions they MUST have different names; since no path is specified, the
- #selection is by name & creator code alone.

- #installed, you will be asked to locate the application. You should cancel and
- #set useListFiles to N. If you select a different application by mistake it
- #will be accepted (but it won't work, of course). Running FetchNewLocal again

- #To have Fetch-O-Matic applications try to re-establish a dropped connection,
- #set to "Y" (default); otherwise, set to "N". A reason to set to "N" is if you
- #regularly download huge files; with reconnect off, you may be able to tell
- #Fetch to resume a partial download manually. If reconnect is set to "Y",
- #interrupted downloads and uploads will get restarted from the beginning of
- #the interrupted file, then will be followed by the remaining files in the
- #transfer queue.

-
- #Close Fetch connection to server: This setting determines the behavior of
- #Fetch-O-Matic applications when they are finished with an FTP session. The
- #default is Y, which will cause Fetch to close the connection to the server. If
- #you wish this connection held open, set to N. (If set to N, the closeLink
- #setting will be ignored).
-
- closeFTP Y
-
- #Ignore the remote changesFile: You may choose to ignore this file if a) you
- #always upload from one location only, and b) no one else is uploading files.
- #In this situation, since there is only once source for the remote file,
- #checking it is not necessary. The only advantage gained is that you save a
- #little time uploading and downloading this file. The default ignoreChanges
- #setting is "N". WARNING: setting this to "Y" will disable the multi-user and
- #multi-location features of Fetch-O-Matic. Furthermore, if you later change
- #your mind you will have to manually upload the changesFile at that time.

- #Special-purpose settings: Leave these settings blank if not applicable.
-
- #Ignore files with certain extensions: Enter a list of such file extensions
- #with comma separators and with no spaces, such as
- #ignoreFiles .dir,.cst,.lck,.psd,.pla,.plx,.snd
- #These extensions may each have any number of characters, and there can be as
- #many of them as you like, but they must all begin with a period. No files with
- #the extensions entered here will be added to the To Upload list. Leave this
- #setting blank if you don't have any such files. In the case of files with
- #multiple extensions, they are handled as in the following examples: if a file
- #has extension .sit.hqx, if you enter ".hqx" you will exclude it and all other
- #.hqx files. If you instead enter ".sit.hqx", you will still exclude that file
- #but will now include files ending in .hqx alone as well as other
- #multiple-extension files such as .cpt.hqx. In other words, the extension
- #entered must match exactly from back to front for an exclusion to occur.
-
- ignoreFiles
-
- #Dual-server settings: If your site has a second machine (with a different IP
- #address, but logically within the site, for example to serve streaming video),
- #enter its parameters just as done for the primary machine. The altDirHead
- #setting specifies the start of the names of any directories on your local
- #mirror whose contents are destined for the alternate server. The altDirHead
- #can be as short as a single character or it can encompass a path of any
- #length. Any directory (and its subdirectories) whose local path (i.e. within
- #the local root) commences with altDirHead will be related to the alternate
- #server instead of the primary one. For example: in the root of your local
- #mirror there are 3 directories named video, video1, video2. If you set
- #altDirHead to video then anything in all of these directories will be destined
- #for the alternate server. If you set altDirHead to video1, only the contents
- #of video1 will be so directed. This works of course for downloads as well as
- #for uploads. (The altPassWord entry and storage is handled according to the
- #preference set in the passWordSave line for the primary server).

- #The following settings affect only the FetchHarvest application. If you do
- #not use it then you don't need to change these default settings.
-
- #Make new folders: FetchHarvest may be configured to create a new local folder
- #with a unique time-stamp name for each download session. If this is the
- #desired behaviour, set to "Y". Otherwise, set to "N". If there is nothing to
- #download, no folder will be created (there will be no empty folders). The
- #created folders will appear in the localHome directory, effectively adding a
- #level to the local hierarchy.

- timeStampFolders N
-
- #Download time of day: FetchHarvest can be set to check regularly at either
- #a specified interval, or at specified times of the day. If you wish it to
- #check at particular times, enter the times here, in 24-hour time format, with
- #commas as separators and without spaces, as in this example:
- #harvestTimes 09:30,12:30,15:02,18:45
- #FetchHarvest will always ask for an interval when the application is run, but
- #if times are specified this interval is ignored. There is no limit to the
- #number of specified times, and a single time is also acceptable. As with all
- #settings, if the entry wraps to the next line it will still be read properly.
-
- harvestTimes
-
- #Minimize online time: FetchHarvest needs to determine which files to download
- #after looking through the remote site. If there are many files for it to sort
- #through, this could take some time. To have FetchHarvest consult the closeLink
- #setting after its information-gathering phase, set to N. (If FetchHarvest then
- #determines there are files to download, it will reconnect and proceed). If
- #set to Y, FetchHarvest will stay online until the entire process is complete.
