Up-It v1.0
-=-=-=-=-=-
"Another METALSOFT tool!"
Developed by Ray Akey (AKA Heavy Metal)
Compiled and tested with the SAS/C Development System v6.52
Under the auspices of Metal Software
What is it?
===========
Up-It is a tool designed to let users with SYSOP MAINT to upload files
to any location on your system. It will take a path from the given arguments
and the upload will be stored in that given path. There is also provision for
a SYSOP DEFINED default "temp Up-Its" directory in the configuration file
"sysdata:up-it.cfg". Also note that Up-It detects and will not accept
"local uploads", that is, Up-It will only work from remote. It is, however,
perfectly safe to run locally and will indeed inform you that it cannot be
used on a local port.
Installation
============
1. copy Up-It to pfiles: (or wherever you with to have it executed
from)
2. add the following to the "1;MAINTENANCE COMMANDS" section of CNET:BBSMENU
UPLoad |{pfiles:Up-It}
note: the first curly bracket "{" above is actually CTRL-Q.
3. select "Text/menu reload" in your CNet/Control menus.
4. create/edit the file sysdata:Up-It.cfg. In this file, place the
full path to a temp directory for sysop uploads. ie:
====== sysdata:Up-It.cfg ======
ram:temps
============ end ==============
4. the program is now ready to run.
Command Conventions
===================
To use Up-It, simply enter:
UPL <[drive:][path/][filename]>
[drive:] (optional) is any writeable drive or device. If you specify a
device or drive, it MUST exist. Up-It will, of course, not
attempt to create a non-existent drive or assign.
[path/] (optional) is any subdirectory. If the subdirectory or
subdirectories do not exist, Up-It will create them for you.
NOTE: if you include a [path/] but no [drive:], the uploaded
file or files will be stored in the user's MAIL: directory.
ie. Up-It temp/myfile.lha
In the above example, Up-It will create the directory
"temp" (if it does not already exist) in the user's MAIL:
directory and then accept the upload myfile.lha in that newly
created directory.
[filename] (optional) is the name of the file you are uploading. Note
that batch protocols like ZModem take their filenames from
from the actual upload and may be different that what is entered
as an up-it argument.
If no arguments are given, Up-It uploads will be stored in the location
configured by the SysOp in the configuration file SYSDATA:UP-IT.CFG
