-
- AFM stands for Automatic File Mover. If you receive TIC files, look for
- TICIN which is a simple TIC file receiver.
-
-
- Concept
- -------
-
- SENDING...
-
- You send a file along with a control file to a destination. Based on the
- contents of the control file, the target node senses the file and moves it
- into the correct location on his/her system.
-
- To send, you just run AFM SEND sendfile.ext
-
- The sendfile.ext is documented. It's enclosed as SEND.LST.
-
- RECEIVING...
-
- You receive a file along with a control file from a source node. Based on
- the contents of the control file, your system checks if a predetermined
- password and address is OK, then moves it to a predetermined area for you.

- than once a day, others nightly, and others weekly (using chkday.com).
