- File Requests and recognized Fidonet Standards
-
- There are two "MAGIC" file names that are universally recognized
- in Fidonet. These are as follows:
-
- FILES - If another system requests "FILES" from your system.
- They should recieve a list of files that are available
- via request from your system.
-
- ABOUT - If another system requests "ABOUT" from your system.
- They should receive a small text file telling about
- you system. Information about hours of operation,
- supported baud rates, and any special interests your
- system supports would be appropriate.
-
-
- One small note of etiquette here. It's wiser not to request too often or
- too much, of one system. Remember, there are many of us here in this Net
- and it's just good measure to make sure you are not using MORE than your
- fair share of transfer time.
