- r1cfDESCRIPTION:r0 c7User Configurations for CNet and FTP
- c2
- The Configurations menu allows you to taylor the INetShell to your
- needs. It has options to prevent users from interrupting your time
- within the shell (by On-Line Messages (ie. OLMs) or System Messages
- such as the User-Monitor messages). It also allows you to configure
- the FTP client (known as NcFTP - pronounced Nik-F-T-P) to your needs.
- And finally, it allows you to edit your Finger file. This file will be
- explained below.
- c6
- Commands listed on the Configuration menu are:
-
- c5H c1(toggle hide mode - hide from all ports)
- ccAllows you to toggle C-Net's HIDE command which allows you
- to hide from all ports (no one will be able to see you on the
- WHO display). Setting this to On will have the following
- effect: When you enter the INetShell, it will auto-hide from
- all ports and INetShell will auto-unhide you when you exit.
-
- c5M c1(toggle muffle mode - muffle all ports)
- ccAllows you to toggle C-Net's MUffle command which prevents
- you from receiving any On-Line Messages (OLM) from any port.
- This is usually a good thing to do as OLMs can really mess
- up the prompting in some areas of the program. Setting this
- option to On will force INetShell to automatically muffle all
- ports when you enter the program and then unmuffle when you exit.
-
- c5T c1(toggle user-monitor mode)
- ccThis option will allow you to toggle C-Net's User-Monitor
- command (known as UM). Some users automatically do a "UM;*"
- at login which will tell C-Net to send them System Messages
- whenever a user logs on or off. If you do not have this set
- on your account, then leave this option to "No". If you have
- it turned on (UM;*), it is suggested that you toggle this option
- to "Yes". Setting this option to "Yes" will make INetShell
- toggle the User-Monitor to OFF while you are in the program and
- toggle it back to ON when you exit the program.
-
- c5D c1(disable MOTD file at startup)
- ccThis option will allow you to disable the MOTD (message of the day)
- file from displaying at the startup of the INetShell. It has only
- 2 options. Yes and No.
-
- c5E c1(edit your finger file)
- ccAllows you to edit your finger file. A finger file is a sort
- of User-Information file that anyone on the Internet can pull up.
- If you are familiar with C-Net's "UI" command, this is quite
- similar. Here, you have the opportunity to write a little about
- yourself so that users who FINGER your account will see what you
- have to tell them. This option brings you directly into C-Net's
- Editor mode (visual or line editor) and allows you to customize
- your Finger.
-
- c5F c1(edit your ftp .netrc configuration)
- ccThis option brings you to a sub-menu which allows you to
- customize the NcFTP client to your wishes. Here are the
- available options in this menu:
-
- c51 c1Download Progress Meter
- ccThis allows you to toggle the FTP download progress
- meter 4 ways.
- NONE: no progress display
- DOT-NOTATION: dots (.) are displayed during transfer
- BAR-GRAPH: a bar graph shows transfer progress
- K-RECEIVED: number of kilobytes shown
-
- c52 c1Ansi-Escapes
- ccThis option allows you to toggle Ansi-Escapes in
- the NcFTP client. (default=On)
-
- c53 c1Auto-Binary Mode
- ccThis allows you to automatically set the transfer
- mode to BINARY (type I) in the NcFTP client. It is
- suggested to leave it to it's default. (default=On)
-

-

- ccThis option will automatically log you on to the
- FTP site as the user "anonymous". Most FTP sites
- allow this user login and it is suggested to leave
- this setting to "Yes" which is the default.
-
- c56 c1Recently Called List
- ccThis allows you to view the recently called list
- by using the OPEN command at the NcFTP> prompt. For
- more information on the OPEN command, type HELP OPEN
- when you are at the NcFTP> prompt (during an FTP run).
- (default=On)
