- FILE Command U - Upload Files
-
- Uploading is the transfer of files from your computer to RBBS-PC. When you
- use the "U" command, RBBS-PC will prompt you for the filename you wish to
- upload. If RBBS-PC finds that the file already exists (even with a
- different extension), you will not be able to upload. This prevents
- duplicates from being uploaded. You will then be asked to select a
- protocol if you have not set a default protocol (see the help for the UTIL
- command "F" for a discussion of different protocols).
-
- Once RBBS-PC is ready to accept the upload, you should start the transfer
- using your communications software. Check the manual or document file that
- came with your communications software for specific information.
-
- After the upload is complete, RBBS-PC may verify the integrity of the file,
- and then ask you to describe it so others will know what it is.
-
- UPLOAD GROUND RULES: All callers are encouraged to upload files on this
- system. Any type of program or document is welcome, however, a few ground
- rules are in order. The files donated must contain only information that
- can be shared with others. Callers who upload files overtly take on the
- sole responsibility that, should these files be shared, the rights of
- others will not be violated. The SYSOP is not responsible for any of the
- data that is shared on this system.
-
- TIPS:
- 1. You can stack the "U" command with the file name. That is, you can
- enter "U <filename> directly from the Files Menu. For example, you
- could type "U RBBS-PC.ZIP" to upload the "RBBS-PC.ZIP" file.
-
- 2. You can override the default protocol by including it at the end of the
- command line. For example, "U LIST700.ZIP X" uploads LIST700.ZIP using
- Xmodem no matter what the default protocol is.
